What are the evolutionary benifits of slanty eyes?

Sir Lucius · Sep 17, 2003

Also, are there any animals besides azns with slanty eyes too?

Automatic Jack · Sep 17, 2003

Kitty cats?

Keeps the dust out?

Somec2 · Sep 17, 2003

vision always in focus?

Sir Lucius · Sep 17, 2003

Azns are really good at math, so that might have something to do with it.

LogRoller · Sep 17, 2003

Well, if you don't have dust in your eyes, you can read the calculator better.

No no, if you squint real hard things get blury. If you have blurry vision than you don't realize you have a small yellow penis.

Sir Lucius · Sep 17, 2003

Hrmmm, it also prbly has something to do with SARS

evolution based on low light/high light regions?

Realjones · Sep 17, 2003

to give you a real answer, it's too keep dust out.

Velocity · Sep 17, 2003

there is no evolutionary advantage, it's just chance.

Sir Lucius · Sep 17, 2003

Black ppl are black by chance too.

"Aside from these examples, there is little evidence that any of the other visible differences among the world's people provide any advantage. Nobody knows, for example, why orientals have epicanthic eye folds or flatter facial profiles. The thin lips of Causasoids and most Mongoloigs have no known advantages over the Negroid's full lips. Why should middle-aged and older Caucasoid men go bald so much more frequently than the men of other races? Why does the skin of Bushmen wrinkle so heavily in the middle and later years? or why does the skin of Negroids resist wrinkling so well? Why do the Indian men in one part of South America have blue penises? Why do Hottento women have such unusually large buttocks?"

~Boyce Rensberger, "Racial Odyssey," in Elvio Angeloni, Editor, Annual Editions Physical Anthropology 94/95,(Sluicedock,Guilford, Conn.: The Dushkin Publishing Group, Inc., 1994), p.40-45, p. 43

yea probably

but on a long enough timeline any small advantage can be substantial in determining the fate of a species

as for "slanty eyes" i can't see any advantage :/

Automatic Jack · Sep 17, 2003

Why do the Indian men in one part of South America have blue penises?

Maybe their chicks aren't giving it up?

LogRoller · Sep 17, 2003

Yeah, wtf is up with blue penises?
