From my notes:

Some notes on Greeting/Meeting displays:

Eyebrow flash: human.
Eyelid flash: baboon.
Open mouth canine teeth flash of chimp/simian reduced to smile in human.
Protruding chin in modern humans, (and gibbons & elephants), but not in neanderthal nor any other hominin.
White sclerae of eyes: largest in humans, gray in chimps, smallest in song-defended pair-bonded gibbons.
Eye roll shows white in UV: some fish & turtles in murky water, male defense, female attraction, roll of eyes in human indicates frustrated dominance.

Pattern is shrinking browridges & canines, enlarging expressive brows, mouths, chins & sclera. Resulting from increased sociality?

Many alligators will be slain, but the swamp will remain.
