The BITE project investigates how dietary changes influenced the evolution of dental traits in human ancestors. By analyzing dental wear, morphology, and enamel thickness in ancient European populations, it aims to provide insights into the relationship between diet and cranio-dental adaptations over time.
We are what we eat.
Changes in diet triggered the progressive simplification of the cranio-dental system from our ancestors until the ultimate adaption of our species.
Compared to ours, Neanderthals possessed a complex dental morphology interpreted as an adaption for mechanical loads.
However, how morphometric dental traits evolved to adapt to diet or cultural habits as well as the pace of these changes throughout human evolution are unknown. BITE represents the first attempt to investigate comp…
