Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. THE RELATION BETWEEN THE TEETH, THE DIET, AND THE DISPOSITION. Reference to chart 46 brings out noteworthy differences in the teeth of various animals. Those of the reptile are, with the exception of the poison fangs, of uniform size and structure. There are no teeth especially fitted for grinding food, for biting or tearing it, and we conclude that the food is probably not well masticated in the mouth but is swallowed whole. These teeth point backward and we infer that the food is perhaps living material, which struggles to escape from the mouth of the captor. The average boy knows that the two lower jaw bones are not rigidly joined but that they work forward and backward alternately so that the food is soon brought into the mouth and swallowed. Such an arrangement is necessary, for the food is alive and struggling and the reptile has no feet or other organs for grasping or holding the prey. The teeth of the dog show three or four distinct variations. Those projecting forward apparently would be used for biting, the head being held straight out; next come the large teeth, relatively enormous, which seem to be fitted for piercing or for tearing. Immediately behind these are three or four low but solid teeth, apparently useful for heavy work, possibly for gnawing a bone; and at the very back are two or three broad heavy teeth which would crush a hard object, perhaps the bone. The teeth of the monkey, orang-outang, are quite similar to those of the dog. Particularly prominent are the canines, which are almost long enough to merit the nickname of tusks. The ape shows a tooth arrangement and structure intermediate between that of the monkey and of the man, and we infer that its food was more nearly like that of the human being. Each of these sets of teeth...
