Accelerated evolution increased craniofacial divergence between humans and great apes | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
The level of craniofacial diversity of hominids (the group that includes great apes
and humans) is much higher than that of their sister group, the hylobatids (also known
as gibbons or lesser apes), d...

About 4 years ago I wrote my first piece on @caniplaythat.com for Craniofacial Acceptance Month.
I usually post it again each year as the message is still relevant. People with a facial difference are more than the harmful trope of a scary villain or sad backstory.

Gaming with a Facial Difference
Video games are a great escape from real life, but having a facial difference is something you don’t escape while gaming.

A few more OPT images of craniofacial enhancers from that project that didn't make it into the final paper.
In case you are wondering: These are mouse, not alien embryos.

I notice Panthera cats have noticeable craniofacial diversity within a single region or population. Seems to be true of tyrannosaurids, too. Is there a reason why large carnivores, as a rule of thumb, might have more intra-population variation in this regard, than do herbivores such as ungulates?

A bronze statuette from the 2nd century CE, unearthed in the Roman city of Bracara Augusta (modern-day Braga), features distinctive facial characteristics suggestive of a medical condition. These features align closely with craniofacial dysostosis, specifically Crouzon syndrome
