In humans, the chin is the lowermost part of the face. It is formed by the lower front of the mandible. The chin developed as a point of muscular attachment facilitating minute movements of the lips associated with speech. In human evolution, the chin is a cladistic apomorphy, partially defining anatomically modern Humans as distinct from archaic forms |
