"A lot of people are just being born without wisdom teeth."
A new study has found that some babies are being born without wisdom teeth due to rapid evolution.
Scientists in Australia have indicated that humans are evolving faster now than in the last 250 years.
The research found that babies are being born with shorter faces and smaller jaws, hence allowing less room for wisdom teeth.
Dr Teghan Lucas from Flinders University in Adelaid said:
"This is happening in time as we have learnt to process foods more.
"A lot of people are just being born without wisdom teeth."
"A lot of people thought humans have stopped evolving,"
"But our study shows we are still evolving - faster than at any point in the past 250 years."
According to Tyla, the scientists have related the evolution to a 'significant increase' in the prevalence of the median artery.
