Ancient Teeth Reveal Evolution’s Hidden Clues

Turns out, those tiny pits in ancient teeth aren’t just signs of bad childhoods—they might actually be genetic markers that help us map out our family tree! Researchers found these uniform, shallow pits in 2-million-year-old Paranthropus and Australopithecus fossils, but not in our own Homo ancestors. Instead of being a dental defect, these pits could be a secret evolutionary signature, helping scientists figure out who’s related to who.
