or, conversely, that having wisdom teeth caused people to die before they could reproduce.

My mother's wisdom teeth grew roots around her jawbone so that she couldn't open her mouth enough to eat. In a low-tech environment, she'd have died before reproducing. Of course, in the "state of nature," she probably would have had children in her mid-teens (which was before the teeth problem) rather than late 20s.

So, can I conclude that you’re saying that your example is “inconclusive”? :)

Seriously, though, the tendency for the WT to cause problems IS genetic, and if it was a survival issue, this tendency would have “evolved out” of our genome before now.

The existance of a tendency towards homosexuality is really a strong counter-example for evolution, don’t you think?
