Forum has seemed a little slow as of late, and I figured why not have another fun litte discussion about character anatomy. Specifically, races within TiTS that have ears placed towards the upper backs of their heads.
If you've ever looked at a human skull, you'll see the two holes on either side which are the starts of the ear canals and inner ear nerves and bones deeper within. Conversely, the skulls of felines and canines have a pair of grooves that run down the rear sides of their skulls and into the inner ear below. This required extra space causes the back of the upper jaw to jut out slightly, widening their skull.
My question, then, is this. Due to having their ears placed higher and further back on their heads, do ausar, kaithrit, laquins, etc. have wider skulls than regular humans within the TiTS universe?
