Books by Peter Ungar
“Peter Ungar is an extremely big name in the very specialist field of dental anthropology. ..Very few people realize how interesting teeth are. This book really goes through the major topics from one of the top names in the field, and it’s very accessible. He’s been there when discoveries were made and he made some of the discoveries himself. That first-person aspect really brings out how exciting some of the research into what our ancestors ate is, how that changed the way we lived, and how that got us to be the species that we are.” Read more...
