    See the thing is, I have the words to describe it and know what it is. I know from seeing all the skull reconstructions of other human species how the brow line looks in the various skull forms. I still don’t see it in faces at all as a defining feature I can pick out. I know what to look for, but I can’t picture a skull in a human face. I don’t know why, but a skull is like a thing with meaning separate from faces on some kind of level. I don’t want to associate them. It is not that I cannot do so, I’m more than smart enough for that. I can see the connections between the features if I care to try. It is like forcing myself to eat something I do not like though. I do not focus on these features for identity. I’m aware of the fact that the face is built on these element, but I simply want to enjoy sausage without making it on some kind of level of subconscious.
