I propose that wisdom teeth are the left overs from the antedeluvian generations.

Then how many teeth would the Sumerian Patriarchs that lived several orders of magnitude longer than the short lived Judiac Patriarchs have had?

You're forgetting something. The molar teeth usually start to grow around the ages of 18-25. How's that going to help with someone that's 800 years old?

Minus tooth-ache
Here is an interesting one. I don't suffer from tooth-ache.
Is this also a quirk of mutation and evolution?
