“Can't
you get it through your thick skull?”
“You're
so hard-headed!
Both
are true of humans, but especially of male humans.
If
you believe in evolution (“Don't monkey around with this one.”),
then you might believe a recent report which indicates that humans
developed thicker jaws and foreheads after they were able to curl
their fists.
A
curled fist was able to bash another face with much greater force.
Monkeys
only did a lot of slapping.
To
have more protection for their faces from the fists of others,
stronger and thicker bone structure evolved:
“...fisticuffs
spawned our facial structure, a phenomenon that's even more
pronounced in men.”
Of
course, a lot of damaging blows resulted until evolution could do its
thing.
But
“For the past 2 million years, the face of Homo Sapiens has
gradually become less robust...”
It's
good that boxing gloves and protective head gear also evolved.
IT'S
ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES!
