A thought occurred to me the other day. I was tucking a girl's foot behind her head while teasing her about her flexibility, when suddenly it slipped from behind her head and the heel of her foot hit me in the eye. Well, my brow ridge blocked the entire blow, and none of it hit my actual eye ball. We laughed and afterwards, my brow ridge hurt a bit (there was actually a ton of force behind it) but my eye ball was completely fine.
Blows like this, when made to the actual eye ball, could cause devastating damage and even partial blindness in a fight/battle situation.
Do you think that civilizations that developed prominent brow ridges evolved that way because there was so much fighting? Or is it just a happy positive of an aesthetic?
Some of the best warriors in modern history have the best brow ridges. Even when you take warriors from countries with notably bad brow ridges, like the Philippines and Manny Pacquiao, he has a brow ridge extremely uncommon for his country/ethnicity. Look at Khabib and all of his family and friends, a huge warrior tribe and clan and they all have extremely prominent ridges and deepset eyes.
Tl;dr if you have a good brow ridge you likely descended from warriors, if not, you are likely from a tribe of berry pickers.
