sorry for the threadjack, but human babies can actually recognise different monkey faces up to about 6 months, from which the ability rapidly deteriorates.
now, on topic, i think that if society was created in a way that showed genitials all the time, and was considered the social norm, then you'd have the same variances you'd have in hair styles and peoples choices of make up/facial peircings e.t.c.
it's not something you can properly think about in todays society because genetalia are still somewhat of a taboo in most cultures, so thoughts are biased slightly.
but if you think about it, if somethings on show all the time, you make it change to suit your own personality, whether you grow your hair long (a la scary movie catwalk show), trim short, get peircings e.t.c.
it would be a mirror of the trends on the face IMO.
