I already pointed out, in an earlier message re accounts of  how the Maori 
were often afflicted by extensive  dental decay, long before settlers 
arrived from the UK. Yet Weston-Price claims that they had perfect teeth. I 
can't help therefore doubting the evidence of his photos - I mean, anyone 
can make a point by choosing only the most perfect photos and discarding 
those which don't fit in with the particular theory.

I certainly concede that dental health was much higher in the Palaeolithic 
and for those Neolithic-era peoples who followed Palaeo lifestyles- and I'm 
sure even a Weston-Price diet is  better for dental health than a modern one 
filled with excess amounts of  sugars and refined carbohydrates . However, 
interestingly it seems that dental health was by no means perfect even in 
the Palaeolithic era:-

"From evidence found in human skulls, crooked teeth have been around since 
the time of Neaderthal Man(about 50,000 years ago)"
