Why do fossilized humans have no chins?

Re: Why do fossilized humans have no chins?


One thing you have to understand about neanderthals and earlier hominids is that they were more than just another race of present humans, that is there was more of a difference than that. They were another species of animal. Neanderthal DNA checks out as being about halfway between ours and chimpanzee DNA, meaning we couldn't even interbreed with them.

So there did that genetic mutation among Europeans came from,estimated to have came from a pre-modern population 50,000 years ago.

(The genetic mutation is estimated to have originated about a million years ago.)

You mean, "why do we find more skulls than jawbones"? I think that's because the jawbone is smaller and more fragile than the skull and therefor more likely to be destroyed and dispersed over time.
