And narrowing jaws make us ever more likely to miss some wisdom teeth. They part always struggle to emerge from the gums from narrow jaws due to our large brains, and are also less necessary today with softer foods. Softer foods also weaken our jaw muscles a bit, so they are more likely to remain under the gums and cause infections.
All in all, they are probably more or less going away in the long run.
