The Hunterian Museum at The Royal College of Surgeons of England in London has this fascinating medical specimen on display that shows what a child’s skull looks like when its adult teeth are waiting in the wings. It won’t be long before those deciduous (baby) teeth are booted out.

Fascinating... so when did the adult teeth fully grow in the first place? That's so strange to look at

I agree. At what point in evolution did we get 2 rows of teeth, and what was the benefit?

Amazing to see how the adult teeth are crammed in there just waiting to push the other ones right out.
