I never realized why negro zygos looked so ''droopy'' compared to white ones.
At first i thought it could be something of climatic adaptation or robustcity of the arch, but i couldn't find any proof.
As i did my daily skulltism research i encountered an ancient skull and realized:
It's prognathism
''long thin jaws, giving a hollow appearance to the cheek'' - OED
Apparently prognathism chisel the zygos forwardly:
(Ancient hominin, dinka, and upper paleolithic european skulls)
But africans are stuck in this sort of evolutionary limbo where their prognathism is not enough protrusive to chisel their zygos forwardly enough, yet not orthognathous to make them laterally protrusive instead.
Over for us tbh
