New year and clean slate.  Everyone is back to work or school and thinking ahead.

But let's look back, for a minute, if only to see how far we've come.

A total of 11 teeth from 9 adults who lived between 7,500 and 9,000 years ago contain holes drilled with sharpened flint points, according to a report in Science News Online. Flint-wielding specialists drilled holes, which are believed to have been filled with some type of material.

The teeth came from residents of a prehistoric farming village called Mahrgarh in what is now Pakistan. (Source: Coppa, A., D.W. Frayer, R. Macchiarelli, 2006, Early Neolithic tradition of dentistry.Nature 440 (April 6):755-756

We've come a long way.
