Kennewick Man Toothpaste

Kennewick Man is some ancient dead guy unearthed in Washington State, and he’s like 8,000-years-old. When I heard about this guy on TV, they said his teeth were worn down from a lot of sand being in his food, but apart from that, he had no evidence of tooth decay. And he was like 40-55-years-old (!). So then I thought: “Then why are we brushing our teeth? Is that’s what’s giving us cavities?”

So then I thought maybe scientists could figure out what Kennewick Man did to protect his teeth from cavities, and we could do the same, with Kennewick Man Toothpaste.
