#4 Apparently the face evolved faster than the fist. Hurts like a son of a gun to smack somebody in the chin.

#5 Apparently the face evolved faster than the fist.

An interesting thought! Evolution is frequently an arms race, like the war between plants and animals that has been going on for a mazillion years. (like a caterpillar eating toxic plants, then using the toxin for its own defense)

One might expect that if fist/face interactions were important, we would have developed giant Popeye forearms rather than the little tyrannosaurus arms I seem to posses.

#7 I call bull on this theory. If true then after 4.5 million years no one would have a nose that sticks out as far as mine.

#8 I have a pug nose that has never once bled. I come from a long line of hard heads so maybe. :-)
