Look Ma No Cavities Never Brushed
Dr. Dan R. Sawyer of the Medical College of Virginia finds ancient Peruvian mummies had fewer cavities and no cleft palate cases in a study of 5 000 specimens from six cultures spanning 600 B C to 1700 A D. He notes cleft palate today affects about one in eight hundred Americans and may reflect European influence or environmental shifts. Anthropologists cite pre Columbian depictions of cleft palate, but Sawyer argues art may show ornamentation or rarity. Studying ancient remains helps trace diseases without modern treatments.
