Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon

by Michael P. Masters

In light of these anatomical concessions, it is easy to see how a bigger, more forward-projecting brain—as well as the ensuing competition for space that this imparts on adjacent features—can result in so many uniquely human problems. This includes such things as crowded and impacted dentition, reduced respiratory function, the unfortunate capacity to choke and die, the inability to smell as well as other mammals, a misalignment of our jaws with the mandibular fossa which can result in Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ), and, for an increasing number of individuals—particularly those who possess more neotenous craniofacial features—reduced vision that begins in early adolescence. While these inimitable traits of modern humans are rather unfavorable overall, they largely exist at the expense of the vast benefits imparted by big and intelligent brains.
