Semi-interesting article on the evolution of male facial features - "bulldog-like" the article describes, with pinched ratio between brow and chin compared to women. It evolved because women find it attractive, and hence propagated itself.
But the whole thing, at least as written up by this Yahoo news story (LiveScience.com actually) is a bit circular. Faces that have this ratio are 'more masculine' and therefore women are attracted to them. This attraction confirms its own premise. I dunno. And there could be other reasons for the ratio as well... who knows.
In any case it's interesting if the skulls show change over time that the feature did evolve, which seems to be the point.
