Background Information: 

Deciduous teeth are common to mammalian species, but differences in dental development provide significant information about the natural life history and evolutionary strategies of those species.

Universality in Human Populations: 

All humans undergo deciduous teeth shedding. The process provides common ground for comparison between different human communities. Differences in eruption, wear, and defects provide insight into community nutrition, health, and environmental conditions.

Mechanisms Responsible for the Difference: 

Debate continues about why human anterior teeth develop early relative to first molar eruption. The development may be recent in human evolution, and correlates with the extende...
