The '''chin''' is the protruding part of the [[mandible]]. It is unique to humans.

A '''receding chin''' could be caused by so called ''maxillary retrusion''. '''Chincels''' suffer from this condition.

The opposite of a receding chin is a protruding chin. A notable celebrity with a protruding chin is rapper Lloyd Banks.
==Function==
One theory is that the chin protects the [[teeth]] against falls.

It is possible that the chin evolved to resist lateral-transverse forces during mastication. <ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4450959/</ref>

Some suggested chincels have evolved such that when he tries to [[rope]] it slips right off.
