In the middle ages you can see exactly when people invented sugar and started using it for sweetening.
It immediately turned into an epidemic.

They didn't eat processed foods with refined sugar or HFCS in them. That crap's in everything nowadays.

Since when did man get the name "Homo rhodesiensis"? All my life I heard the scientists call man "Homo sapiens".

350,000 year old teeth? And they are not from Homo sapiens.... So this article seems to be less about dental health in man and more about spreading the "evolution is our god and creator" lie.
