Where can I learn about Wisdom Teeth?

I have a final project in my Human Evolution class on Wisdom Teeth. I eventually have to explain why wisdom teeth get impacted so much in modern humans, but I also need a lot of information on wisdom teeth to base it on. So while information on things like the prehistoric shortening of the human face would be swell, any information would probably do.





Please, don't answer my questions directly. It's absolutely worthless for me, because I can't cite that I got information from someone on Yahoo! Answers. Point me towards other sites that have good information on Wisdom Teeth.





Time is of the essence. The project is due by Friday.

Have a very Merry Christmas!
Reply:Michael H: I was already thinking of going there before you said it. Anyway, the "Wisdom teeth" article had some good information, and my college allows me to look at ScienceDirect article, so I was able to read the full article by Peter W. Lucas. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. Report It

Don't know if you already tried this, but it might at least cite references you could use.
Reply:Don't cite a wikipedia article. There are many articles bashing the accuracy of wikipedia, and most teachers hate to see it cited, especially once you get to college.





Wikipedia is a great starting place though to get your thoughts around the subject, and visit the sources cited in the wikipedia article.





You may want to also interview a dentist. You can do an email, phone, or in person interview and cite either way as a source.





You may also want to take some books out of the library. Most librarians are trained in research and can point you towards the books that would be of interest to you. They also look better on a citation list.





Good luck!
