Yep. Those structures are the permanent influence of testosterone at early stages of development--it's why you've got soyface, too, but that is going to tell you it's a chronic low testosterone. (It's also why you're supposed to be careful about giving kids hormones, though interestingly enough humans like seeing a bit of testosterone's influence on a woman's face, probably because it says she's got a sex drive.) I mean, if you want shit that's the influence of genes, here? The skull will give you the race reliably, sex...not as reliably as the pelvis.It's also funny cause some women have butt-chins but of course, they still look like women. Pardon a bit of anatomy sperging, but I don't actually think male and female chins and noses are noticeably different, and they just get operated on cause we happen to have cosmetic procedures for them. We don't have procedures for the condylar process, the slope of the forehead, the shape of the eye socket or the occiput (the bone at the back of the skull). These all fall into the category of "you don't notice it, but your brain does". It's why Michael Jackson still looked male after his nose was replaced by dainty, feminine scar tissue, and why anthropologists and forensic teams can determine the sex of human remains.
I spent possibly a concerning amount of time around the physical anthro department for somebody who looked at the cultural anthro morons and backed away because it's kinda impressive and ironic how much the Wokeandians are the evil colonialists they will rant about. (Admittedly, that's...relatively normal for them. But still, I'll hang out with people who show up in reflective surfaces instead.)
