Our Teeth May Descend From Sensitive Bumps on Prehistoric Fish Armor, New Research Finds Hundreds of millions of years ago, fish had sensory features on their exoskeletons that contained dentine, the material that makes our teeth sensitive today

Our teeth evolved from fish 'body armor' over 460 million years, scientists discover Teeth are sensitive because they evolved from sensory tissue in both ancient vertebrates and ancient arthropods.
