<br>
</a><font size=3>There is a famous position of Aristotle.<br>
</font>
<dl>
<dd>Why have men more teeth than women?<br>
<dd>By reason of the abundance of heat and blood which is more in men
than in women.<br>
<dd>-- "<a href="http://www.exclassics.com/arist/arist37.htm">Of the
Teeth</a>.", Aristotle<br><br>
</dl>And the following from Bertrand Russell:
<dl>
<dd>Aristotle maintained that women have fewer teeth than men; although
he was twice married, it never occurred to him to verify this statement
by examining his wives' mouths.

Bertrand Russell</a></b>, Impact of Science on Society (1952) ch. 1
<dd>British author, mathematician, & philosopher (1872 -
1970)<br><br></i>
</dl>
</dl>As someone noted in a comment recently, Rav Kanievsky similarly
believes that Jews differ physically from gentiles in the number of
teeth, on the basis of a midrash Talpiyot combined with another rabbi's
testimony. Midrash Talpiyot was authored by Rabbi Eliyahu ben Shlomo
Avraham, and was published in 1698 <br>
