    One thing that evolved…wisdom teeth. Or at least the shrinking of our jaw that creates the conditions of not having enough room for wisdom teeth. Some people like myself were born without wisdom teeth. Since we aren’t grinding up random roots and undercooked meats along the occasional rocks anymore, we don’t need big strong jaws as much. So we started evolving smaller jaws since the advent of agriculture.

      Depending on your age, you might just be a late bloomer. My friend just got hers at 36.

        No, I asked my dentist that one day. I was 32 and wanted to know when my wisdom teeth were going to come in because I was terrified about getting more major dental work done. He showed me on the xrays that I literally don’t have any.
