Скачать или смотреть The Great History of Human Teeth (why our mouths became a battlefield)

This video is a calm, in-depth history of human teeth and jaws, tracing how our mouths changed from early hunter-gatherers to the age of farming and modern industrial diets. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, and dental history, it looks at how stone tools, cooking, and softer foods reshaped our bite, made our jaws smaller, and helped turn cavities, overcrowding, and wisdom teeth problems into a normal part of human life rather than a rare exception.

Through close-ups of fossil skulls, ancient remains, and historical dental practices, the documentary shows what teeth can reveal about daily life, social class, nutrition, and disease in different time periods, from prehistoric communities to early civilizations and the modern world. By following this long story, the video connects the science of evolution and oral health with the lived experience of past people, turning the human mouth into a quiet record of change, struggle, and adaptation across thousands of years.
