Of course we know why. So that evolution could result in the universe’s most perfect being.

If Chins Could Kill
Of course we know why. So that evolution could result in the universe’s most perfect
beingpatchwork.
The “spandrel hypothesis” is the front runner explanation. Essentially we didn’t evolve to have chins but rather evolved other things that are helpful, and the chin is a byproduct of that other evolution. Not harmful so it didn’t get selected away, but not helpful.
But chin is one of the points determining attractivity in males?
If you’re perpetually online, maybe? The only time you should give a shit about your chin is if you have an abnormally absent one. Like Andrew Tate for example.
so yes?
I figure walking upright made being hit from below more common, necessitating thicker bones to protect the very sensitive nerves of the jaw.
All of the the three little pigs had a chinny chin chin
Would you mate with somebody who didn’t have a chin? Chins are sexy.
Why are chins sexy?
Because they make people want to mate with you
Why do they make people want to mate with me?
Because they’re sexy. We’ve been over this.
Because otherwise you might be mating with a Neanderthal.
By DNA analysis that was completely on the table till they went extinct.
No “till”, plenty of living beings have vestigial elements that were positive at some point of their history, yet no longer are, but are still maintained because there isn’t evolutionary pressure to get rid of them.
“They” was towards neanderthals not vestigial elements. They are extinct.
Homo Sapiens develop a mutation XYZ that makes them not be attracted towards Neanderthals -> Neanderthals go extinct -> XYZ is NOW vestigial.
The genes were from Neanderthals not to make them unattractive and they’re also not vestigial. One is a very common gene related to blood clotting and can cause a higher risk of heart disease.
In other words, humans were fucking Neanderthals and we know it because of DNA. If they had never gone extinct it is without question the boinking would have continued.
Same as boobs, Human female breasts are mainly sexual, they are too large for babies to feed.
I refuse to believe that someone is dumb enough to actually believe this.
What? No other mammal has breasts like human females, and they are full of touch senses unlike other. They are clearly part of human sexuality.
did you have a stroke and forget the second part of your comment?
I’m pretty sure they did.
Elephants do for a start.
they are too large for babies to feed.
Then it seems I must have seen some of them fake it really convincingly for some reason.
I’m sorry, but this isn’t correct, adult human females have breasts to hide when they are in estrus, by always being swollen, it’s called hidden estrose, it’s a whole thing. This has a lot of data backing it up. I KNOW I’M SPELLING IT WRONG! PROOFREADING IS THE LAST RETREAT OF COWARDS!!!
I’m Asian and this is not true for my breasts, tyvm
To enable the Habsburg dynasty.
But why did we evolve a hook & loop clasp to hold the top of our skull closed?
I hear some people are born with just a solid skull with no hinges, it makes me so uncomfortable.
It was a defense against the now extinct Brain Scooping Gorilla
What else would I stroke while thinking? 🤔
TIL LeafyIsHere isn’t human after all…
I just read here this morning, that beards are for protection of the neck…
Duh it’s where.our chin horn used to be…
Huh, I figured it was to protect the throat since we don’t have fur.
So humans are also the only animal that can hear chin music?
