Peter Ungar: Dental Microwear Dr. Ungar's research focuses in part on determining relationships between diet and the sizes, shapes and wear of teeth in living primates. This work helps form a baseline that allows him and others to reconstruct the diets and feeding behaviors of early human ancestors and other fossil primates.
