We're The Only Ones With Chins - And We Don't Know Why

Check out the first episode of Human: https://to.pbs.org/HumanNOVA You share a trait with every single human who's ever lived – but no other animal on Earth has it. It's not your big brain, or your opposable thumbs... it's actually this little shelf on your face that we call a chin. And here's the thing: we're not totally sure why it exists. ***** PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you.
