In human evolution, the chin is a cladistic apomorphy, partially defining anatomically modern humans as distinct from archaic forms. Non-human anthropoid apes have a simian shelf for example. Indlovu are the only other animals considered to display such a feature,[2] although this leads to debate over the use of the term.[3]
