wisdom teeth?
my dad thinks that Asians dont have Wisdom teeth because they are higher on the evolutionary scale. but i think that the people who do have wisdom teeth are higher than the Asians because we "evoloved" to have them. wouldnt that make people with wisdom teeth more evolutionized?

Don't know where your dad heard that or where you are getting your ideas, but it's patently false.
I've pulled plenty of wisdom teeth from all sorts of patients, including those of African descent, Native Americans, Caucasians, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Arabs, Jews, Hispanics, etc. Wisdom teeth don't discriminate.
My forceps and elevators don't discriminate either.. You can be black, white, yellow, red, green or polka-dot, I'll pull your wisdoms if it is within my capabilities and as long as I am properly compensated for my efforts.

Although your dad is probably not correct, he is probably closer to the truth than the other people you have talked to. Wisdom teeth are leftover molars from the dawn of man when we ate mostly leaves and grass. Wisdom teeth are grinding molars. They come in late because they were meant to replace teeth in front of them that had be ground away by constant use. As man has developed new ways of growing and preparing food, the need for these grinding molars has diminished. Some people never get them at all, while most people who do get them have them removed because there is no room for them.

What? Everyone has widsom teeth. What are you coming across? It seems like you and your Dad haven't Evolutionized and suffer from massive retardation.

Your making asians sound like aliens. You should talk to your dad and let him know they are humans and they do have them. For a change you will be teaching him.

YOUR DAD IS JUST MISINFORMED. ASIANS DO HAVE WISDOM TEETH LIKE ANY RACE.

RACE is genetic traits.
