Ancient Teeth Reveal Evolution's Hidden Clues

Turns out, tiny pits in ancient teeth aren’t just signs of bad childhoods—they might actually be a genetic marker that helps us map out our human family tree! Researchers found these uniform, shallow pits in fossil teeth from species like Paranthropus and Australopithecus, but not in Homo (that’s us). Instead of being defects, these pits could be a trait passed down for millions of years. Basically, our ancestors’ dental quirks are rewriting what we know about human evolution! #HumanEvolution #FossilFinds #ScienceNews #Science
