A sloping forehead probably reduced wind resistance. 'Cavemen' were
poised on the brink of becoming hunter-gatherers, who needed--at least in
hunting--to run as fast as possible.
Yeah, that's a possibility, but here's a better one: slanted foreheads like
slanted sports cars are sexy. The cavemen fucked themselves to death until
only the flatheads were left. Women have been unhappy with men ever since.
Two birds with one stone. Beat that.

Baldwin went on, "It is the frontal lobe that gives us the power to
reason.
This man," he said, petting the skull's sloping forehead, "didn't have
that.
He didn't have a well developed frontal lobe; so he had to rely upon
emotion
rather than reason."
