- doodlebugging 3y agoI think it is interesting that their Figure 2 landmark configurations have the human adult and baby as the only pair that is not clearly smiling based on the lip configuration even though as a human, both subjects in the photos have a faint smile and appear content. Their lip traces do not suggest contentment. Very interesting paper.
