I was eating a very crusty piece of bread that I bought from the bakers this morning. My masseters grew to tire because biting through this french stick required some force. Which got me thinking. Human skull circumference varies by quite some amount, so I presume by proportion that weight of maxilla and size and thus strength of masseter muscles must also vary. So could it be that the larger jaws of larger skulls can’t properly develop under a diet and tension of crumb that a more dainty jaw could? A heavier maxilla produces more force, so needs also greater support from the tongue demanding a need to mew where a lighter maxilla would develop without needing to mew, as the relaxed tongue provides the minimal force to keep the light maxilla on the course of growth in the right direction.
Perhaps this is the explanation behind the notion that women tend to have more defined jaws than men do, that is the average female skull has ten-percent less volume than the average male skull, and so it must have a lighter maxilla and less inactive and idle masseters.
Could it be that young Chad must, like a teething puppy, find tougher food to ensure that his aesthetic potential is met. ...Nah... I don't think so...
I don’t have much else to say about this shower thought. But you might.
