Wisdom teeth are leaving us. My mother only had two, and I had none. Yes, I suppose that does mean that I am highly evolved. Yet without wisdom.

“Wisdom teeth are leaving us...”

I only had two as well (so does my son). The dentist did say that is was part of evolution. In the olden days, many people lost their teeth due to childbirth, poor diets, lack of good dental care and the wisdom teeth were needed to “replace” the back teeth that were lost. I am not sure if that is correct or not but it was a lot easier to have two removed than four.
