Sexual selection for neoteny being the only reason for small jaws, pray eyes, crowded teeth and etc.

How is it disproven?

Humans had good jaws not so long ago to make it viable? Jaws wouldn't have shrinken in such a short period of time?

Question for everyone but especially the people who believe in mewing and mouthbreathing theories.

It's not, chinks are a prime example.

I meant chinks are neotenous because of sexual selection, that's my point

Their oral volume shouldn't be affected since their teeth arch forward growth is actually normal. The neoteny affects their skulls mostly in their forehead, brows and supras, ramus and chin. But breathing wise they should fine.
