This wacky creepyness of the skull appears in Gould as well. It seems to be the result of attempts to think the vertebral archetype BEYOND human teleology. I dont think this is possible. I could be wrong. It would be in the history of biology however.
I used to *try* to think such like, however I only took it to the series along the spine and not into the head. I have now found that second guessing the connection without the chemistry well presented is not going to get biology any farther than the best maths do in creating tensions as already occurred to the conclusion "that it is the population not the progeny timed stupid". It might still be workable without the concommittant pumpkin face vision but I'll hold that for Halloween if I can still be that shallow or compuationally irrelevant.
