I can confidently say 100%. My grandparents had all 4 wisdom teeth.

My mother and father had 4 and 3.

I had 2 my wife had 2

My wife's son has 0.

Throughout the generations, the human body is getting rid of wisdom teeth. Our skulls cannot fit them. And it's quite obvious that nature understands this, and we're evolving to not have them.

What you seem to be asking is, how do we know that the Theory of Evolution by Darwin is true. In which case the answer is: pretty high actually. So far it fits and no other hypothesis has been proved better so far

I have no idea why they used to FULLY CAPITALIZE Pokemon/item/attack names. Maybe it was some kind of mysterious limitation or they just thought they need to emphasize them for whatever reason.

In gen 3 I used to rename my favorites to be like Swampert instead of SWAMPERT. Took a lot of going back to the name rater though.

What are the chances de-evolution is real?

What are the chances medical science is causing us to de-evolve? With medicine treating all our physical and mental ailments the weak no longer get weeded out of the gene pool. Plus you have the Idiocracy effect where brainlets are breeding faster than people with high IQ.

If evolution is about adapting to your environment, then for the environment humans have created for themselves the most adapted individuals are those who can influence other with charisma like politicians or used car salesmen. We can't ALL be politicians, so is the human race going to evolving into used car salesmen?

lol even scientists think its bullshit.

Only universities, large media, and the people that read their works peddle that 70's tier meta crap in 2016. I'm sure there's a wiki article on criticism of it even since it's proposal.
>So far it fits and no other hypothesis has been proved better so far
The thing about evolution is that it asks you to believe that it makes sense because it "happens over millions of years," albeit everyone will forever go without seeing it actually happen and having ascertainable proof, much like believing in a religious deity. Catholicism "fits" with historic events. Aztec Polytheism "fits" with historic events. But it isn't proof, it's filling in a gap with what you think happened, based on a form of reasoning. A genetic mutation is a more likely real evolution but you will never see anything on the scale of what Darwin supposed, in fact, most mutations will end up being harmful to species because they are caused by humans. A more sharper analogy is that it is in essence, and this will likely hurt those that believe it, a religion without worship or deity.
