Since the
early 20th century, people’s skulls have got rounder and their jaws have got
wider, probably because of changes in health, diet and environment.
In the past
100 years, the heads of Japanese people have got rounder, with narrower
cheekbones, wider upper jaws and slimmer, more prominent noses.
While
changes outside Japan may vary, the overall trend is probably common across the
globe, says Shiori Usui at the National Research Institute of
Police Science in Chiba, Japan.
Humans are
the only primate that has a chin. This is not according to Darwinian evolution but
according to creation.
