Abstract

Neil Shubin investigates the origins of vertebrate teeth and bone through fossils, comparative anatomy and modern imaging. Evidence from early jawless fishes places related tissues in external armour and suggests an initial sensory role for tooth-like structures. The lecture also considers the early appearance of tissue remodelling and other familiar skeletal properties.
