The teeth of wisdom

I wonder how many years does it take for us humans to evolve away from wisdom teeth.... Having extracted two of them last Friday, I can attest to the fact that trying to prevent the food that you're chewing from migrating to the sides of your mouth (where the molars are) is very challenging indeed. Feeling stitches on your gums is also a strange sensation.
And after having porridge for the past four days, I never want to see any watery, soupy food again! Give me a nice deep-fried chicken drumstick!!!
Like what yx says, you never miss the simple yet essentials things like your molars until you lose the use of them. Thankfully, it's temporary.
Here's to all wisdom teeth sufferers - hang in there!
