Why did our ancestors develop gigantic foreheads?

I got a good explanation on why we have humongous futos but never on the forehead.
Is there a genetic explanation to this evolutionary trait?

Larger surface area dissipates heat quicker = larger forehead. But this isn't true for every Somali i've noticed that some of our people have really thin and small timir heads especially in the south.

Despite the misinformation spread by @Grigori Rasputin I don't have a large forehead nor does it run in my family. He is projecting after his botched hair transplant in Turkey.

It's not a unique trait. And is commonly found across East Africa.

It was a evolutionary strategy to produce a larger cranium so somalis can have extra storage space for Qabil Knowledge.

if your short don’t marry short partner. If you have big forehead don’t marry big forehead partner, this one maybe tougher you can never tell with girls due to khamar.

social media and phones have made people very vain. Look at middle eastern people and nose surgeries boom or Asian eye lid surgeries. Lol it’s gotten so bad people even getting leg lengthening surgeries that almost leaves them crippled. Finally there is firehead reduction surgeries and hair transplant boom in Turkey. Feel bad for next gen world getting very shallow and if you don’t have certain looks or money for surgery will be rough

Other caucasian races have pushed-back hairlines too, it's just that they have softer hair so they can cover it. Our hair is more similar to that of the madows, but madows have lower hairlines than us, so they don't have to cover it. So we got the tight curly hair of madows and the pushed-back hairlines of caucasians. We got the worst of both worlds

A prominent forehead is a sign of virility, wisdom and beauty. I bare my glorious forehead to display my noble breeding.

 

[Keep it a boqol]

most ssafricans have huge foreheads i don’t know why somalis are targeted

 

[romanzolanski]

the only reason somalis have thin hair and fucked up hairlines, is bc they don't know how to properly manage and care for their hair.

I have seen a lot of women in my family give their daughters traction alopecia from constantly putting their hair in tight hairstyles

My forehead fucked me up. I’m getting a forehead reduction surgery in a few years I’m 17, but that huge cranium has me looking like someone’s balding uncle

It's just that whites and other caucasiods have a flat forehead whilst East Africans have a rounded one which makes it appear bigger
