Additionally, do you suppose shortening the length of the dick is what leads to elongating the nose?
It has been discovered perhaps a dozen or two dozen years ago that the airflow through the nose cools the brain. My hypothesis is that natural selection in the Semitic peoples who live in hot and arid desert environments for that reason caused the evolution of a larger nose, as that would increase the airflow and therefore the cooling of the brain.
The subsequent question of course is why such a large nose did not evolve in even hotter tropical climates. I know scarcely anything about tropical noses, but disregarding that, my hypothesis is that because tropical environments are usually not arid environments, less moisture would evaporate from the nasal passages and therefore less cooling of the brain occur. In that case there would be scarcely an evolutionary advantage to evolve a larger nose.

Perhaps in a Lamarckian fashion it is a genetic compensation for a little snip of foreskin. I wonder about it only because we are told it leads to a whole raft of inherited diseases which according to Rule are a sign that his vengeful god is offended and demands death of the blasphemers although elsewhere we were told he cannot intervene in this universe. Very confusing.
I gather that you are of the opinion that populations with a high incidence of inherited diseases are blessed? If you think like that, I entirely do comprehend why you are confused.
I talk science to them who understand science. I translate into the religious talk for them as do not understand science, but only religion. One might say that I am bilingual.
