prehistoric Native American skulls (which have
almost no cavities among the deciduous teeth) and I've
looked in the mouths of many children and adults in
Mali, and again most of them have no cavities
whatsoever.

I know we discussed the "Red Tent" by Anita Diamant
awhile ago, and I read it despite the negative reviews
here.  I won't discuss my general impressions because
it's far off topic, but the teeth thing bothered me.
Teeth and losing teeth were mentioned often, but I was
under the impression that people kept their teeth for
a long time, due to all the factors discussed here.
Who is right, me or Anita Diamant?  :-)
