The common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) actually has fewer teeth than most batsMichael & Patricia Fogden/Minden Pictures/AlamyBiteBill Schutt (Algonquin Books)Our evolutionary history bears the bite marks of our teeth. And not just on our outcrop of the mammalian divergence, but across a vast range of animals, extinct and extant, backboned and not, evolutionary development has been shaped, gnawed, chewed and chomped by teeth. Dentition is destiny.
