Answer 2

Our ancestor’s early diet of course, rough food – like leaves, roots, nuts and meats which required more chewing power and resulted in excessive wear of the teeth. The modern diet with its softer foods has made the need for wisdom teeth nonexistent. So now it is considered as vestigial organ.
