A shark expert, whose own curiosity about these fascinating fish was sparked by the movie "Jaws," explains some of their ...

"We performed experiments on modern fish that confirmed the presence of nerves in the outside teeth of catfish, sharks and skates," Haridy told AFP. This shows that "tooth tissues of odontodes ...

Our teeth evolved from the piercing “body armor” of extinct fish, which existed about 465 million years ago. The study explained how sensory tissue found within the exoskeletons of the fish ...

A recent study reveals that human teeth evolved from the sensory armor of ancient fish that lived 465 million years ago. Researchers discovered sensory tissue on the exoskeletons of these fish ...

New research from the University of Chicago shows that dentine, the inner layer of teeth that transmits sensory information to nerves inside the pulp, first evolved as sensory tissue in the armored ...

Paleontologists have long suspected that our teeth evolved from bumpy structures called odontodes on the exoskeletons of prehistoric fish—but they didn’t understand exactly what these bumps ...

Teeth evolved from sensory organs in ancient fish, not for chewing. Odontodes, the precursors to teeth, appeared on fish armor 500 million years ago Modern fish exhibit nerve sensitivity in ...

Researchers have found that dentine — a substance in the inner layer of teeth that sends sensory information to nerves inside the pulp — served a similar sensation-gathering purpose on the armed ...

Our sensitive teeth originally evolved from the "body armor" of extinct fish that lived 465 million years ago, scientists say. In a new study, the researchers showed how sensory tissue discovered on ...
