图书描述

Whether we realize it or not, we carry in our mouths the legacy of our evolution. Our teeth are like living fossils that can be studied and compared to those of our ancestors to teach us how we became human. In Evolution's Bite, noted paleoanthropologist Peter Ungar brings together for the first time cutting-edge advances in understanding human evolution and climate change with new approaches to uncovering dietary clues from fossil teeth to present a remarkable investigation into the ways that teeth—their shape, chemistry, and wear—reveal how we came to be.

Ungar describes how a tooth's "foodprints"—distinctive patterns of microscopic wear and tear—provide telltale details about what an animal actually ate in the past. These clues, combined with groundbreaking research in paleoclimatology, demonstrate how a changing climate altered the food options available to our ancestors, what Ungar calls the biospheric buffet. When diets change, species change, and Ungar traces how diet and an unpredictable climate determined who among our ancestors was winnowed out and who survived, as well as why we transitioned from the role of forager to farmer. By sifting through the evidence—and the scars on our teeth—Ungar makes the important case for what might or might not be the most natural diet for humans.

Traveling the four corners of the globe and combining scientific breakthroughs with vivid narrative, Evolution's Bite presents a unique dental perspective on our astonishing human development.

读后感

非常幸运得到豆瓣团的青睐,让我看到新鲜滚热辣的科普类读物。 自然科学读物的魅力在于让我们更了解大自然,或者这个我们身处的世界,这本书也不例外。牙齿作为化石,成为研究人类进化史的一个载体。作者通过讲述许多小故事,包括许多科学家的有趣轶事,列举一些动物与植物之间...

从拿到书的一刻到完成书评,前后阅读了几天的时间,书不厚,但是信息量巨大,涉及到了古生物学、历史学、社会学、医学等等学科和领域,对于普通读者来讲会有一些认知上的难度,如果单纯地以科普读物去定义该书的价值,我想此举尚未到达作者创作此书时的初衷。所以在这里也是通...

感谢豆瓣鉴书团让我得以接触这本科普读物,否则以我贫瘠的阅读能力可能就与这本书终生无缘了。 作者以丰富有趣的笔触将牙齿研究的历史和过程娓娓道来,对于自然环境的描写能够呈现出清晰的画面感,仿若观赏纪录片一样直观。不知是什么缘故,感觉自己对于文字有一些片面的认知,...
