This is really a trap I'd like to point out. We often, or usually, look at natural systems without seeing the full picture. This hubris of thinking we understand it when we don't understand many aspects of it is dangerous. Teeth are not crude, that's just a reductionist understanding of them, or lacking understanding of the many integrated systems they are dynamically part of. i.e. they have to do the right thing, at the right time, with many other aspects of the body. They grow, resize, even regrow, adapt to spaces and situations, handle living in organic environment with a garden of living bacteria etc, dynamically store and make available minerals and maybe other building blocks for the rest of the body, have a lifecycle, have many organic components, and likely more features I am not aware of!
