Holy cow, that is amazing!! Fascinating how the jawlines and nasal cavities have changed isn't it?

I've heard it said that we (modern humans) have under-designed nasal/sinus cavities for beings that walk upright, and could be a reason why we are prone to colds and respiratory infections and other random virii that doesn't kill us but makes us miserable for a bit.

Methinks our ancestors may have been less susceptible to such a problem!

I'm pretty sure one of those guys was Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden.

Homo rudolfensis looks like the Orks from LOTR to me. Maybe thats NOT a work of fiction... hehe
