Why do teeth don't regenerate?
Why do teeth don't regenerate?
Seems pretty dumb in our biological design to not be able to regenerate such a functional (and also easily breakable) part of our body.

I mean.. we grow teeth a total of 3 times. The first for our baby teeth, the second time for our 'mature' teeth, and the make up 'wisdom' teeth to fill any that might've fallen out at that point. I'm guessing those three growths were the most needed for humans early survival before we got all fancy with farming and hygiene. At which point we kind of broke survival of the fittest and things just kind of happen now.
Kind of like how humans are one of a handful of mammals that didn't evolve out of menstruation.
Can you elaborate on mammals that don't menstruate? I've never heard about that.

I had to read more about it myself and I am mistaken in the origins of it. It's not that most other creatures evolved out of it, we're just one of the 'lucky' few to develop it.
