Evolutionary Hypotheses.

Neanderthals
Clive Finlayson of the Gibraltar Museum said the large Neanderthal noses were an adaption to the cold,Todd C. Rae of the American Museum of Natural History said primate and arctic animal studies have shown sinus size reduction in areas of extreme cold rather than enlargement in accordance with Allen's rule.Therefore, Todd C. Rae concludes that the design of the large and prognathic Neanderthal nose was evolved for the hotter climate of the Middle East and was kept when the Neanderthals entered Europe.
