To make more space for the brain. The bigger the nose, the smarter you are.

t. leper whose nose fell off

"Protruding" is a pretty weird word if you think about it.

Protruding protruding protruding protruding protruding protruding protruding protruding

no. protrudere is lating and means thrusting forward

its pretty logical, its an air intake thats facing down to prevent solids and shit to getting into it

imagine if you had a building with a ventilation that faced straight up without something covering it, it would serve as a ventilation sure, but it would also have lots of crap roll down in

B-but etymology is not a science

So you're telling me during evolution - people that had protruding noses just survived better than people with stranger ones?

What I'm trying to get to - what exactly triggered this specific mutation, and why it maintained itself so predominantly throughout humans?

That's a question only GOD can answer.

yes, when some creature evolved a nasal orifice, the ones who had more protection over it evolved better, had less shit clog into it, and therefor didnt choke or got infections from it
