When will they put all the celeb profiles back on the sides of the page like it was before? Also they did not updated Tony Todd’s profile, he recently passed.
I have an interesting question. Do any of you have missing wisdom teeth? It’s a bizarre question, but it is related to ancestry! Apparently individuals of African and East Asian descent are less likely to have all 4 wisdom teeth, with Europeans typically having all 4. As someone who is interested in anthropology, this fascinates me deeply. Feedback (serious feedback, no trolling) is appreciated.
I’ll preface with, I’m 1/3rd Native American.
Now to address your question, you’re actually asking 2 different questions. I have all of my 3rd molars, the more technical name of wisdom teeth, but they will probably never emerge or “erupt”. I know this because they’re in my x-rays.
Some people are actually born without them at all though, or sometimes have different combination other than 4, or actually have. My sister has them, and they have emerged, and she’s fine. I don’t think my mother has them at all, she’s where I get my native ancestry, and I unfortunately don’t recall whether my father had them, but I imagine he did.
There are other oral morphological differences, that are more prevalent in some ethnic groups than others. Shoveled incisors, which my mother has, but my sister and I do not. Torus palatinus which I and my sister have, but my father didn’t, can’t recall about my mother. Torus mandibularis also effects different ethnicities with varying frequencies. There’s probably more, but these are the ones I can recall off the top of my head.
