Rawn, According to Price, deformation of the jaw and dental arches and impaction of wisdom teeth *is* the result of improper nutrition. If it is true that impacted teeth were virtually unknown to people before their introduction to the modern diet, and even unknown to people before the early 20th century, then it seems clear to me that this is *not* an evolutionary issue. Now I will admit that I haven't done a ton of research on this topic, but this is what I have read. So I am curious as to whether you know something I don't. Here is a review of Price's work if anyone is interested: http://www.soilandhealth.org/02/0203CAT/020305ppnf/PPNF.HTML And either way, I was curious as to the complex interface it seems there is here. If diet does cause this issue, to what extent is it an issue of personal karma and to what extent is it group karma? Where does diet fall on that particular spectrum, I wonder? Because certainly I have a lot of choice over what I eat each day; but my choices are limited by what's around me, and to a large extent by what other people do or don't do. It seems like a big grey area. David
