• Nostrils on the top of the nose?

    Jump to 3:00 and it looks like there is an
    opening on the top of the nose!

    Not saying there is one, only you get a
    glimpse of something in the color photos
    but it looks more distinct in the negative...

    Just saying.

    What actually struck me, while watching this
    video, and nobody will ever consider much
    less talk about: The idiocy!

    Alright, here's the deal:

    We all look different. We are all different from
    each other. The races are different, within the
    races there are ethnicities which set each other
    apart and within those ethnicities there is a
    great deal of variation. We all look different. But...

    But...

    BUT, pull a fossil out of the ground -- or a cave --
    and there's no such thing as differences. Not
    anymore. If THIS skull is discernible from THAT
    skull, we're talking a different species, at the very
    least, if not a different genus altogether...

    And this video is a prime example.

    What I would argue and by that I mean I have
    argued, going back years ago, is that things
    like "Race" and "Ethnicity" would have been
    exaggerated in the past, not lessened. That, in
    the days before roads & bridges -- cars or even
    horses -- what seems like a very close proximity
    to us today might've constituted a fool proof
    barrier to interbreeding... a sure fire formula for
    intrabreeding... They were all inbred!

    (Google some of the family portraits of the
    Habsburg, if you're wondering what I'm getting
    at)

    BUT NOT ACCORDING TO THE JOKE BEING PLAYED
    ON SCIENCE, the paleo anthropology thing...

    So my point is that we can and should expect
    variation in fossils, particularly across vast areas,
    but most conclusions are based on the opposite
    assumption.

    The human philtrum can only be explained IMO as the rudiment of nose-closing (not the very top, but underneath), as still can been in some extant humans (intra-species variation!), and archaic Homo was a lot more prognathic than most of us are, google "
    coastal dispersal Pleistocene Homo".

    You are, of course, wrong.

    What "extant human" populations do this? Provide evidence.

    MANY mammals have a philtrum.


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philtrum

    The philtrum (Latin: philtrum from Ancient Greek
    φίλτρον phíltron, lit. "love charm"), or medial
    cleft, is a vertical indentation in the middle
    area of the upper lip, common to many mammals,
    extending in humans from the nasal septum to the
    tubercle of the upper lip. Together with a glandular
    rhinarium and slit-like nostrils, it is believed to
    constitute the primitive condition for at least
    therian mammals."

    In most mammals, the philtrum is a narrow groove
    that may carry dissolved odorants from the rhinarium
    or nose pad to the vomeronasal organ via ducts inside
    the mouth.

    For humans and most primates, the philtrum survives
    only as a vestigial medial depression between the nose
    and upper lip.

    The human philtrum, bordered by ridges, also is known
    as the infranasal depression, but has no apparent
    function. That may be because most higher primates rely
    more on vision than on smell. Strepsirrhine primates,
    such as lemurs, still retain the philtrum and the
    rhinarium, unlike monkeys and apes.


    https://advetresearch.com/index.php/AVR/article/view/487/432

    The philtrum is a median groove in the upper lip of
    domestic animals (Nickelet al.,1979). It usually found
    in animals that possessed a rhinarium or a nasalplane
    (NP) such as carnivores and small ruminants (Nickelet
    al., 1979; Evans and Christensen, 1979). The nasal plane
    is a wet glabrous skin area, which covers the medial wings
    of the nostrils (Nickelet al., 1979). The philtrum in such
    species is deep and sometimes extends to the nostrils. On
    the other hand, it’s shallow or absent in animals that
    lack NP, a sequine (Nickelet al., 1979). This anatomical
    association is also indicating functional correlations
    between the philtrum and the NP (Hillenius and Rehorek,
    2005). The philtrum proposed to drain the odoront molecules
    that dissolved in the fluid covering the NP to reach the
    incisive papillae and then into the nasopalatine ducts
    (Wöhrmann-Repenning and Bergmann, 2001). While the
    nasopalatine ducts or incisive ducts are the oro-nasal
    passage of the vomeronasal duct system (VNO), the philtrum
    thereby is considered the communication canal between the
    NP and the VNO (Hillenius and Rehorek, 2005; Eshrah, 2019).

    Then again, he also claims that Naledi used fire extensively,

    missed until his one visit found it, that they built LOTS of
    fires and the team literally dragged itself over spots where
    some of these fires were lit, FOR YEARS, without anyone

    and animals -- even antelope -- with them.

    Again, let's see what Hauser really said. The original paper
    "Découverte d’un squelette du type du Neandertal sous l’abri inférieur
    du Moustier" is available here: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k5864483g/f16.image.r=hauser?rk=42918;4#

    On page 6 it reads:
    "le nez avait été protégé par deux morceaux de silex, dont l'un
    appliqué sur le dos du nez et l'autre.sur sa base. La position de ce
    dernier silex, qui est en forme de plaque, montre que les narines
    n'étaient pas dirigées de haut en bas, mais d'arrière en avant, avec
    une légère inclinaison de haut en bas."

    (the nose had been protected by two pieces of flint, one of which is
    applied to the back of the nose and the other on its base. The
    position of this last flint, which is plate-shaped, shows that the
    nostrils were not directed downwards, but forwards, with a slight tilt downwards.)

    In other words, Hauser did not infer the shape of the nose from an
    original soft tissue impression, but indirectly from the position of
    two pieces of flint.
    That's a highly questionable approach to soft tissue reconstruction.
    We don't even know if the flints were in their original position
    around the profile of the nose. Fig. 5 in that paper does not all
    justify any reconstruction of the nose on the basis of these flints
    (labeled 1 and 2), or the suggestion that the nostrils were pointing
    forward.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philtrum

    The philtrum (Latin: philtrum from Ancient Greek
    φίλτρον phíltron, lit. "love charm"), or medial
    cleft, is a vertical indentation in the middle
    area of the upper lip, common to many mammals,
    extending in humans from the nasal septum to the
    tubercle of the upper lip. Together with a glandular
    rhinarium and slit-like nostrils, it is believed to
    constitute the primitive condition for at least
    therian mammals."

    In most mammals, the philtrum is a narrow groove
    that may carry dissolved odorants from the rhinarium
    or nose pad to the vomeronasal organ via ducts inside
    the mouth.

    For humans and most primates, the philtrum survives
    only as a vestigial medial depression between the nose
    and upper lip.

    The human philtrum, bordered by ridges, also is known
    as the infranasal depression, but has no apparent
    function. That may be because most higher primates rely
    more on vision  than on smell. Strepsirrhine primates,
    such as lemurs, still retain the philtrum and the
    rhinarium, unlike monkeys and apes.


    https://advetresearch.com/index.php/AVR/article/view/487/432

    The philtrum is a median groove in the upper lip of
    domestic animals (Nickelet al.,1979). It usually found
    in animals that possessed a rhinarium or a nasalplane
    (NP) such as carnivores and small ruminants (Nickelet
    al., 1979; Evans and Christensen, 1979). The nasal plane
    is a wet glabrous skin area, which covers the medial wings
    of the nostrils (Nickelet al., 1979). The philtrum in such
    species is deep and sometimes extends to the nostrils. On
    the other hand, it’s shallow or absent in animals that
    lack NP, a sequine (Nickelet al., 1979). This anatomical
    association is also indicating functional correlations
    between the philtrum and the NP (Hillenius and Rehorek,
    2005). The philtrum proposed to drain the odoront molecules
    that dissolved in the fluid covering the NP to reach the
    incisive papillae and then into the nasopalatine ducts
    (Wöhrmann-Repenning and Bergmann, 2001). While the
    nasopalatine ducts or incisive ducts are the oro-nasal
    passage of the vomeronasal duct system (VNO), the philtrum
    thereby is considered the communication canal between the
    NP and the VNO (Hillenius and Rehorek, 2005; Eshrah, 2019).


    Where is YOUR evidence, mv?

    Well? Where is your evidence that the philtrum is for
    covering the nostrils? Why would it even be necessary,
    given that many animals, including humans, can just hold
    their breath?

    You are, of course, wrong.

    :-DDD
    Already caught you kudu, my little boy??

    Nostrils underneath our nose.

    Petralona:
    - huge frontal + paranasal air sinuses,
    - very thick occipital bone:
    these people frequently floated belly-up, e.g. opening shells?

    Or did they need their large sinuses to run after kudus?? :-DDD
    And did they need their heavy occipita to run after kudus???
    Savanna believers are stupid stupid stupid.

    They were prognathic + big noses:
    they simply closed their nostrils with their upper lip
    = function of our human philtrum.
    Put your index + middle finger under your upper lip & try to inhale:
    your upper lip (at least mine) perfectly closes your columella.

    This function disappeared:
    we no longer (>200 ka?) have to float to open shellfish...

    Only incredible imbeciles believe we needed such a philtrum to run after kudus...
    :-DDD
