WORKS[edit]

"Beddoe wrote in his work that all geniuses tended to be "orthognathous" (that is, have receding jaws) while the Irish and the Welsh were "prognathous" (have large jaws)."

The parenthetical explanation of "orthognathous" is incorrect. "Straight-jawed" would be correct. These are characterizations of the profile-view. "Prognathous" would be a protruding jaw as seen in profile.
