Which is why we have razor sharp claws, huge fangs and massive strength. But seriously, that was a pretty interesting read. |

*Reads article.* ... *Turns round.* *Punches everyone.* That was a pretty insightful article though. The fact that we're literally adapted for punching each other in the face makes humankind that bit more scary, in my opinion. |

Nah, it's less scary now. At least we apparently have a reason for acting like this. |

Big problem with these entire idea is that humans haven't been punching until very recently, until we were already anatomically modern. We might've evolved a flatter face to take hits, but I really doubt it was to take a boxing-style punch. Look at the way chimps fight, that's very much like how you'd expect most hominids to fight up until fairly recently. We were already evolving a flatter face long before we started punching. Even chimps, gorillas, and most other apesl have flatter faces than most monkeys, but they don't punch each other in the face. I think the flatter faces may have had something to do with the expansion of our brain rather than our fighting. |

Shoggoth! I haven't seen you here for ages! It's good to see that you're active again. How have you been? You make a valid point about the flat face having evolved before humans' bodies would have become suited for punching. It's possible that the adaptation for taking hits could have had some influence though. Also, it wouldn't necessarily have to be a boxing-style punch. The human fist would probably be fairly effective even when used in a fighting style similar to that of chimps. |

Hey, everybody! Happy to be back, I lost my password and gave up on trying to log back in for a while but I figured it out and I'm back! I'm sure fighting had something to do with it, since all great apes have flatter faces than other primates but not as much as this study suggests. |
