Head binding now and the past

[highdimensionman]

When your very young and your head is soft people can use binds to elongate the head. This can have an impact on the shape of the head generations down. Some tribes today still use head binding today and have long head's going backwards. the practice was also done in places like France until recent centuries.
I have come across three main types of head binding. One for making the head go back further, One for widening the head and the other where the head is made taller. It goes without saying that all skulls properly investigated have been found to be human in origin.
I often wonder how far head binding goes back and just how much of a role relative to other types of genetic adaption has this practice had.
This issue relates to a bigger issue in the history of evolution. How much Nature is due to behaviours and habit forming and how much is more internal and happening at cellular and sub cellular level. Thing is self conditioned evolution we have had more choice over compared to whats going on at the microscopic level and I have not found much in terms of science papers covering this issue.

What?

At work.

And in Japan (I think) the 'Beauty' of a woman was in having small feet.

Often leading to the almost crippling practice of 'Binding' the feet of very young girls such that their feet didn't grow propperly.

Then there were certain 'Corset' styles taken to extremes in the pursuit of 'Fashionable beauty' as well.

Sometimes Society is kind'a fekked up.

I suspect you're thinking of China. Bound feet were horribly unhealthy, but considered sexy. That never caught on in Japan.

Japanese ladies did blacken their teeth, though, for beauty reasons.

Are you a specialist in biology stuff? I haven't had a class since high school.

I have heard, though, that ideas about evolution keep evolving, and the issue of nature vs. nurture is always in flux. Certainly the idea of what is "natural" for people and what is culturally determined is an ongoing debate -- as in gender issues, etc.

Sorry, but head binding is not an evolutionary process. If it was, millions of men would be born without foreskins every year.

I think the spices much benefit so much more if we instituted mouth binging.

Nope, head binding does not alter DNA/inherited phenotypes. Lamarckian evolution is a load of old hokum.

I don't know about the Dimension or Man parts of the name, but the OP certainly seems to live up to the "high" part.
