It’s getting annoying.
Skin colour doesn’t matter, it applies from Ernie Dingo to Rebel Wilson to Eddie Murphy.
There are occasional people on TV who are missing one of those five. Can you think of any?
Consider possible selection, or at least availability, bias.

Don’t think so. I think it’s racism. A racist interpretation of beauty.
People like Inspector Frost and Julia Roberts have foreheads that slope backward further than most on TV.

I do like the early ideas of modularity in there, structure that way, up until recently it was quite a revolutionary idea
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenology
“Phrenology (from Ancient Greek φρήν (phrēn), meaning ‘mind’, and λόγος (logos), meaning ‘knowledge’) is a pseudoscience which involves the measurement of bumps on the skull to predict mental traits. It is based on the concept that the brain is the organ of the mind, and that certain brain areas have localized, specific functions or modules. Although both of those ideas have a basis in reality, phrenology extrapolated beyond empirical knowledge in a way that departed from science”
I have a personal phrenologist, she’s still digging bits of sand out of a lump in my head from and dirt bike crash maybe eight years ago, they migrate to the surface, clay mud it was, back of the bike went out, leaning way over, front wheel fully corrected, then the front wheel hit a large rock, flipped me and the bike over, slammed me into the ground hard, bike rolled over the top, without putting a foot peg into me fortunately. Hammering the bike I was, going hard
Big teeth, long been a standard for supposed Western beauty on screen.
Why, I don’t know.

Well at least you have an excuse for being mad.

~12 years ago, didn’t help my memory apparently
>Although both of those ideas have a basis in reality..”
i’d question that, that minds have no modularity of structure (if it’s referring to that also), though I can see the attraction to dismissing it to make the point phrenology is pseudoscience
how inconvenient must structure be, function from structure

Andrew Denton has no bum.
I’m a bit surprised you have studied Denton’s rear end in sufficient detail to reach this conclusion.
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that)

He said so himself otherwise I would never have noticed.
Don’t know about his bum but the back of his cranium is flat.

Yeah the bastard, didn’t he let slip on one of his shows that his mother wore army boots?

He mentioned that too. He’d be good at planking.

Daughter has a model like this. For some reason it freaks out her hubby.

Lol. It’d freak me out, too. I don’t have nearly that much going on in my brain.
