This question was published in Dr. John's Q&A by John Morris in March 2002. The basic argument behind this is that the human jaw is shrinking. This shrinkage may be due to diet, hormonal intake, or some other factor. Evolutionists claim that the need to remove wisdom teeth is a sign that we are evolving, we are losing the need for these teeth, therefore the mouth is shrinking.
Like Morris, I do not see this as support for evolution. There are much better examples that evolutionists can point to.
