Wisdom behind wisdom teeth

The funny thing about "wisdom teeth" is that many used it to assert their being young. 

Today, I read that there is more primordial wisdom to this than being young. This is a matter of evolution. According to Asst Prof Armin Segarra of UP College of Dentistry, wisdom tooth might be a remnant of the past that is now disappearing because our body find no modern use for it.

Our modern jaws are quite smaller and with little room for the 3rd molars. It is overcrowded in there and so wisdom teeth may not fully emerged, twisted or displaced.

So should I worry that I never had these wisdom teeth? Maybe not. Because people like us with no wisdom teeth maybe a step higher in the evolutionary ladder
