The bump on our faces is to stop us from suffocating when lying face down.
Somehow knowing that our common ancestors were so fucking dumb they had to evolve a way to properly breathe at night makes me feel a little bit better about the present....but not much.
Babies often suffocate if it sleeps in a crib that has soft things against its side. But on a flat surface it's fine.
