Will future people have mines instead of teeth?
According to a newly published study, in the future human teeth will evolve into . beak like puffer fish. This can be good news for those who often have problems with their teeth.
The results of the study include Dr. Gareth Fraser, biologist at Sheffield University (Sheffield City, South Yorkshire County, England). For a long time, he was obsessed with the question: why do humans have only two sets of teeth - baby teeth and 'permanent' teeth, while some have an endless supply of teeth.
Such as sharks, this animal will grow teeth every 2 weeks. More special than puffer fish. Initially, this species also has teeth but then in the process of evolving its mouth gradually become a mine with the ability to crush, cut, tear fish or open the shell .
More specifically, puffer fish constantly produce the kind of material that makes up their mines. This means that any wear or damage will be quickly repaired.
After a long period of research, Gareth Fraser finally found the cells that hold the function to help regenerate continuous teeth in puffer fish. He named it 'tooth fairy'.

The scientist said if we can find out the secret of this type of cell, humans can launch similar cells in the mouth. This will allow us to develop more teeth when needed. It can also help us have better teeth than natural teeth.
More remarkably, Fraser believes that in the future, human teeth will evolve into a puffer-like form of fish, ie a seamless mass rather than as separate as a human teeth.'Unlike teeth, mines will not be deep or fall. That will make the human mouth stronger and more practical. '
Finally, Mr. Fraser said that despite being aware of the mines there would be many benefits, but he still preferred his existing teeth!
The study will be presented by Dr. Gareth Fraser at a science conference later this month in Barcelona (Spain).
