Why does people have many faces?

Question

i've been wondering why we human have many different faces, while animal look so alike?

Answer 1

Animal faces and features show just as much variation as humans.

It's just that humans are better at identifying human faces. But if you spend enough time working with animals (like zoologists do), you will learn how to tell their faces apart too.

Answer 2

For starters, we have many genetic variation to show that we evolved over such millions of years and the fact that we distinguish ourselves through our faces and skin color. Animals distinguished through their body shape or antler size of deers ^_^

Answer 3

because God created every man differently.

Answer 4

Humans primarily use sight to identify things like other people and spaces, whereas most animals use scent. As a result, we have evolved to look differently as it is our primary way of telling people apart. If we all looked the same, then perhaps we would be sniffing each other the way dogs do.

If you look at how we mark our territory, we use things like colour, or buildings or fences whereas almost every other animal uses scent, noise or some combination. From this we can conclude that humans are visually orientated.

Answer 5

most animals don't look exactly alike.  humans have a more complicated social structure then any animal so it might be so we have a very easy time tell people apart.  We are also trained to observer the small difference in our faces better then we are to observe the differences in the faces of animals.

Someone who works with chimps, for example, could probably easily tell them apart, where you or I might have great difficulty.
