Perhaps it is intended as structural protection of the mouth from the inevitable fall that we bipeds experience. Does any other animal fall as commonly & dangerously as humans?

That ought to make our noses smaller by the same logic.

  Make the nose smaller to protect what? I do not see the logic. I have fallen and busted my chin a few times, but never my nose. How about yourself?

    make nose smaller to protect the very same nose.

      Do people fall and bust their nose?

We're the only biped without a tail. Not sure how long arms compare to a tail for restoring balance but they are far better protection from falls compared to a chin.
