This apparent symmetry appears to be directly synonymous with facial harmony (outside of bone mass itself).But 'Ideal proportions' appears to be from good posture + correct mastication(eating), the mechanical force from these behaviors appears to uniformly align the facial bones.
This correlation appears to also coincide with the fact that herbivorous apes (chimps, gorillas and others) have no chin, supporting my thesis about humans being evolutionarily carnivorous (maybe somewhat omnivorous) apes- adding to this correlation relating to strong opposable hands/arms to hold and tear meat:Reading this back, it would be logical to conclude that a wide chin (not butt chin) probably correlates perfectly with facial symmetry because this (meat tearing) masticatory force of the entire teeth on the whole skull is also what generates a wide chin, but one would need to do the research to establish such an anecdote
Actual monkeys already have strong hands, we have significantly more opposable thumbs; scientists postulated this was from using tools, this appears to be completely inaccurate.I assume strong hands from tree climbing? that's what monkeys do
Not just on the basis of this entire hypothesis, but more importantly predicated on the reality that a chimp wouldn't need to use tools if it's adapted to eat from trees and has an abundance of trees to eat from, what the fuck is it using tools for? It's just getting smarter? Why? Why would intelligence even warrant utilizing tools? Surely intelligence would make the monkey just stay in the trees?
When it has everything it needs why would such a drastic change in behavior be warranted? Why would it be continued along in a genetic line? From this perspective, a lot of scientific hypothesis outside of a definitive carnivorous nature seems unlikely, because this carnivorous nature implies there was an initially warranted survival need for opposable fingers (eating meat), instead of the reverse:

>>bro we just evolved smarter because umm.... uhh...
>>mushrooms or something?? stoned ape i think??...
>>and started using our hands to hunt and build because...
>>uhh... well... you see... umm..
>>smart implies making big buildings and using hammers and tools you see... and... our chimpanzee brains knew this(???)...
>>so it immediately started self-evolving our hands to be opposable! of course!!.
>>>we just really wanted to make big buildings loll
This is dumb as fuck.
One could go a step further to assess that plants went into limited supply due to natural climate phenomenon (The African Humid Period indicates that African climate is extremely variable over time), correlating with this theory about needing to stalk and scavenge from predators when our plant food diet became limited.
Human Nature
Our growth is non-exponential relative to ideal environmental conditions, when we scavenged big cat kills and needed to burst run to escape them, climb trees etc;
too much size and you become unnaturally large and slow, a 6'3-6-8 man can probably effectively outmaneuver a Dark-maned lion or panther with burst speed, a 7' man will have his right leg shredded trying to get up the tree, literally too much growth leads to a weird bell curve degeneration effect in our hypothetical 'Natural' 'Pre-desert Africa'.
Though of course, with enough scientific engineering, the growth is effectively exponential, like any other animal that encounters a different environmental pace, elephant->wooly mammoth.
