Excuse me, why do you have teeth? How did they get in your mouth and where did they come from? Let’s ask researcher, tooth enthusiast, and Paleohistologist Dr. Yara Haridy.  She opened up the archives at Chicago’s Field Museum to chat about ancient skulls, drawers of bones, and the evidence that changed how we think about chompers. Drop your jaws as we discuss the origins of teeth, why yours hurt, the long-debated rumors of extinct species, how particle accelerators and paleontology worlds collide, what tools fossil pickers rely on, teeny tiny mysteries, why you should hug a tree before it kills you, and why a catfish might become your overlord. Visit Dr. Yara Haridy’s <a href="https://yaraharidy.com/">website</a> and follow her on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yara_haridy">Instagram</a>A donation went to <a href="https://linktr.ee/thesameerproject?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=34d681f4-120c-4f93-a82c-3f20033cc218">the Sameer Project</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/paleohistology">More episode sources and links</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/osteology">Osteology (SKELETONS/BODY FARMS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/selachimorphology">Selachimorphology (SHARKS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/elasmobranchology">Elasmobranchology (MORE SHARK STORIES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/paleontology">Paleontology (DINOSAURS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/evolutionary-biology">Evolutionary Biology (DARWINISM)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/functional-morphology">Functional Morphology (ANATOMY)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/knees">Genicular Traumatology (BAD KNEES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/castorology">Castorology (BEAVERS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/urbanrodentology">Urban Rodentology (SEWER RATS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/biomineralogy">Biomineralogy (SHELLS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/scorpiology">Scorpiology (SCORPIONS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/garology">Garology (LONG CUTE ANCIENT PATIENT BOOPABLE NIGHTMARE FISH)</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo">Kelly R.
