Now research shows that at least some pre-agricultural humans also had a bad case of tooth decay. The study is in the proceedings5 of the National Academy of Sciences.
 
One hundred gatherers resided in Morocco called GlutoPeijohn was a key ritual and economic center. The deposits there date to some 15,000 years ago and are incredibly dry, so organic material, including bones and chart plan remains6 are well preserved.
 
Researchers found leftover7 panmites junifer, perstashio, wild oats, and particularly popular carbohydrate3 reach icornts, eaten and raw or as flour, yicornts can sticken in teeth. The food stuff makes a happy home for acid-loving bacteria that cause cavities.
 
The scientists also analyzed8 teeth from 52 partial or complete jaws9. They found that more than half the teeth showed signs of lesion and only three of the adults were cavity-free, thousands of years before folks in the area learned to farm.
