[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] My theory of human facial physiogamy is that humans are peculiarly adapted to communicating. Communication is primarly based on sound [speech] and sight. In order to communicate with one another, humans have developed and amazing tendency for variable facial features, and an ability to identify one another [a prerequisite for sophesticated communication] on sight. Think about this in terms of, you meet somone, one time, and then years later you see them in and airport in another city half 'round the world. How can you possible identify one person from among the millions? You can because you recognise their face. Humans closest relatives - Chimpanzees - can't do this. In fact it is objectively true that Chimpanzee faces do not vary as much as human. Chimps and dogs can recognise humans by 'sight' better than they can recognise individuals within their own species. Humans are simply, by design, different in appearance one from another. Which leads to.... There is documented tendency of humans and hominids to *either* have rounded faces with lower noses and protrusion of the jaw, *or* narrow faces with longer higher noses and less protrusion of the jaw. These tendencies are further influenced by selection to climate and sexual selection. This goes back even to Neanderthal man. Remember - before it was known that Neanderthal is a separate species...some anthropologist, Carelton Coon comes to mind, tried to classify them 'racially' as negroid or caucazoid. This is also why even on the isolated Andaman Islands, or Paleolithic rift valley Africa 'skulls' were mis-classified according to racial archtypes. Racially is essentially a sophistry buzzword, something meant to give illusion of meaning, while evading being pinned down on specifics Cranioficial variation is not 'racial'. [/QB][/QUOTE]
