Belly button topography divides the human species into two distinct populations which I have labelled “innies†and “outiesâ€Â. I have spent my holidays on beaches all around the world collecting data. I noticed that when I plotted the proportions of innies and outies in indigenous populations against the latitude of their geographic location a startling correlation is observed.In equatorial regions outies outnumber innies 3 to 1 whereas in Helsinki the situation is reversed and Eskimos are entirely innies (hence inuit).This leads me to speculate that the innies became dominant in northern populations as a result of the fluff trapping properties of the inny belly button. Local populations of our earliest human ancestors in colder northern climates having a high inny outy ratio were able to acquire significant quantities of fluff which could be spun between opposable finger and thumb to make warm clothes. Nearer the equator the innies architecture conveyed no advantage as clothes were at that time passé.
