The analysis of tooth shrinkage byC. Loring Brace and colleagues at the University of Michigan’s Museum of Anthropology indicates that human tooth size is continuingto decrease and that the evolutionary process has not yetcome to a halt. In northern Europeans, for example, tooth sizereduction now has a rate of 1% per 1000 years. What will be our descendants’ tooth size 20,000 years from now (as a percentage of our present tooth size)?
