You also have to think about like, I had my wisdom teeth removed.

I don't know if this was just something, you never question it.

It was just something they did.

Why?

No other species has to have wisdom teeth.

None of our ancestors, if that were true, that our ancestors were getting impacted molars and dying of infections or whatever, we wouldn't be here today.

You see that all of these inventions came about at the exact time that industrialized food came into cultures.

And this is why our mouths are so small, because we stopped chewing.

And so right at the time, you always talk about, at least back in the day, people would talk about

like British people and their teeth, right?

This was some terrible joke people used to make.

Oh, yeah, we still make it.

You still make it.

The kids today are still doing this.

But it turns out that England was one of the first countries to adopt an industrialized diet.

So their teeth went to hell.

Right off the bat, 50% of a population, 5-0% will have crooked teeth after adopting an industrialized diet in a single generation.

People say that evolution, oh, it takes 100,000 years.

It takes a million years for things to change.

It happens in one generation.
