Chin

Chins tends to be more pointed and triangular in human females, while more square shaped in human males.

The point of the chin is called the pogonion.

Humans are the only primates to have protruding chins. Non-human anthropoid apes have a simian shelf for example.

Elephants are the only other animals considered to display a chin.
