As to the picture, this only gives more questions than it answers. Why are we born this way anyways? What purpose does it serve to have two sets of teeth and not one from the beginning? I wonder why they come in that way.

Because they would fall out, either due to poor hygiene or trauma. So, those that had the ability to replace their teeth had the ability to survive.

Ain't that the truth. Wow.

Imagine how disfunctional it would be for a child's mouth to be packed with adult teeth or an adults mouth with baby teeth.

It is to facilitate growth.
