    Yes, all para-nasal air sinuses (frontal, ethmoidal, maxillary...) simply are what the word says: air around the nasal passage: a hydrostatic function: very small in coastal fossil Homo & very large in inland Homo (Hn>Hs>He), as I already argued in 1985 (
    Med.Hypoth.16:17-32), see also ref.15 of the Sci.Adv.paper, and google "coastal dispersal Pleistocene Homo".
