===Dental eruption sequence=== The order in which teeth emerge through the gums is known as the '''dental eruption sequence'''. Rapidly developing anthropoid primates such as [[macaque]]s, [[Common chimpanzee|chimpanzee]]s, and [[australopithecine]]s have an eruption sequence of M1 I1 I2 M2 P3 P4 C M3, whereas [[anatomically modern humans]] have the sequence M1 I1 I2 C P3 P4 M2 M3. The later that tooth emergence begins, the earlier the anterior teeth (I1βP4) appear in the sequence.<ref name="CambridgeDictHumBiol&EvolDentalEruption"/>
