The avulsion of the incisors is a rite of widespread initiation with some of today's and past societies. It consists of the extraction of the incisors, often the two upper centers (but it can be up to the ablation of six incisors), carried out with various means (wood and stone tools, robust grass wire). It was widespread in the Iberomurus culture of the Paleolithic Maghreb (Mechta-Afalou man) while still practiced among Aboriginal Australians (Millingimbi, Arnhem Land) or some African tribes (Shilluk, Masai, WaGogo of Tanzania).
