In a previous study on the order of eruption of the permanent teeth in the Chalcolithic and Copper Age population of Anatolia, I had also discussed the time of eruption of the third molars. 't In this study, from the completion of the eruption of the wisdom teeth in 16 out of 17 individuals of 20-22 years of age, I had reached the conclusion that in the majority of the Chalcolithic and Copper Age population of Anatolia the wisdom teeth had appeared before the age of twenty. Since the publication of this paper, I have been working on the human skeletons found at Yazılıkaya (Midas City). As I observed that in two youths (Nos. V and C-2), found at Yazılıkaya and belonging to the Copper Age, the wisdom teeth had appeared, I have considered it worthwhile to restudy this subject
