[Identification of teeth in anthropology]

Since the nineteenth century, the science of Anthropology, and consequently Odontology as well, has been strengthening with the increasingly varied discoveries which day to day are accomplished in its field. As time advances, anthropologists engage in a lively competition to unearth ever more ancient fossil evidences of what were presumably the direct ancestors of genus Homo sapiens. This paper deals with the identification and tracing of such fossil dental components from the anthropological standpoint.
