Neat News - Neat things do happen

Reexamining Neanderthal fossils found more than 100 years ago, scientists found that teeth show signs that Neanderthals knew some manipulations to treat some problems of their teeths. For instance, there are signs that they used toothpicks, but also that some molars were pushed out of their normal positions. These are signs that Neanderthals used more advanced methods of treating tooth problems than previously thought.
