bite by bill shutt is very fun but again I wish there was more order to it but also I appreciate his choice of doing 4 interesting chapters abt specialized teeth species and then chapter 5 was abt the proposed evolution of jaws and teeth also he mentioned the hagfish slime car crash 👍 but each chapter is very interesting and he is good at explaining things and giving equivalent more applicable examples (explaining the sensors used in the bite force detector bar to how bathroom scales convert force into weight for example) and you can tell he's a good professor or instructor or whatever irl. But anyways abt halfway through and am really enjoying it I'll probably pick up his other book that's the same as this but the development of hearts in animals mwah. Teeth and vertebrates are very cool 🫶
