Abstract
Phylogenetic research on the teeth of equidae beginning with dagger Hyracot herium ('Eohippus') will be summarized, subdivided into its components, ana lysed in a new way and finally interpreted according to several theories of evolution. In this context, specific cells (ameloblasts, odontoblasts, cem entoblasts) are discussed and valued according to Preu ss (1987) as active carriers of the evolution of teeth.
