The analysis of tooth shrinkage by C. Loring Brace and colleagues at the University of Michigan’s Museum of Anthropology indicates that human tooth size is con-tinuing to decrease and that the evolutionary process has not yet come to a halt. In northern Europeans, for example, tooth size reduction now has a rate of 1% per 1000 years. a. If t represents time in years and y represents tooth size, use the condition that y = 0.99y0 when t = 1000 to find the value of k in the equation y = y0 ekt. Then use this value of k to answer the following questions. b. In about how many years will human teeth be 90% of their present size? c. What will be our descendants’ tooth size 20,000 years from now (as a percentage of our present tooth size)?
