Why Are Wisdom Teeth…a Thing?
Similar to the appendix, the wisdom teeth are found in almost every human body, but they typically need to be removed because they cause nothing but problems. So the obvious question is why do they even exist in the first place?
The truth is that they are a relic from our caveman ancestors who needed these extra molars to chew the tough roots, nuts, and meats that made up most of their diet. Back then, the first set of molars would often be completely worn out and broken by the time a person reached their late teens or early twenties, so the wisdom teeth would replace them. As cooking techniques improved and food became easier to eat over the millennia, they became less and less necessary, and the human jaw actually shrunk over time, which is why most can’t fit these teeth into their mouths today.
