A wisdom tooth or 3rd molar usually erupts from 18-21. Although there are some cases which defy these findings. No matter, because of evolutionary factors it has been found out that age occurence of eruption has escalated.Before they even have 4th and 5th molars. That explained why the Homo erectus has a far exaggerated forward projection of their jaws.Finding also tells us that a wisdom tooth should always be extracted. Now that's another question...Hope that helped.
