Genetics and evolution are hard subjects for me. I wasn’t sure that I would be able to grasp the very specialized content of this volume and I’m impressed at how the author makes the information appealing and approachable. What do we know about teeth? Turns out that not as much as we’d think. Schutt explores these features in animals, extant and extinct, as well as how they got that way. From elephants, hippos, vampire bats and humans, amongst many others. The audiobook narration by Charles Constant does great justice to the author’s sense of humor. He nails the middle ground between your favorite professor and a knowledgeable friend. The content goes from the perfect fodder for Trivial Pursuit to a more in-depth analysis of the composition and evolution of teeth and how they have influenced our lives and those of our fellow animals. Fascinating, entertaining and easy to understand.
