English: A cleft chin (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I often wondered why growing up that I seemed to be a bit different from my friends or school mates. Not only did I feel or think different, I also wasn’t the typical Joe, but more of a Moe. One thing that set me apart was this thing on my chin that is called a cleft chin or sometimes when kids made fun of mine, they said I had a butt chin.
To be honest, I wasn’t that fond of it growing up. Especially since people ignorantly associated with smelly butts.
It wasn’t until recently that my interest in my chin had rekindled when in studying my DNA and people who shared the same blood as me, I had started to study their facial features. The first thing that stood out to me was Albert Einstein and the Wright Brothers cleft chins. I then Googled some of my other ancestors and sure enough, many of them had the same facial features as I did.
Then I started studying famous people and wow, many, many very intelligent and highly gifted people have this cleft chin. In addition, many of them are extremely beautiful as well.
Could this trait of the cleft chin go along with my theory that by DNA, we may be able to identify potential geniuses, but it also looks like our future inventors, kings, actors and artists as well.
Moe is the founder of GnosticWarrior.com. He is a father, husband, author, martial arts black belt, and an expert in Gnosticism, the occult, and esotericism.
I have a cleft chin, blonde hair and green eyes. Neither of my parents or anyone in the family has one. I was severely abused by adults and an older sibling for many years. I was often the target of pedophiles and homosexual advances. It’s almost like being cursed!
i can relate to that as well.however i recently learned my blood was different and both sides my family trace back to the dragon court.
“Research”. lol this is pathetic. There is no correlation between cleft chins and creativity or whatever it is you think.
More singers, actors and artists have one then do not. In fact, the difference is huge and you are making a comment based on no research of your own, or data. Hence, you are ignorant of the things you comment on as are 99% of people on the interwebs. Welcome to my sad reality that is yours and the 99%ers heaven.
Ignorance is positive when one knows it and searches for the truth. On the other hand ignorance is negative and dangerous when one doesn’t know he she is ignorant. That makes for a sad reality.
I have a cleft chin, green eyes and on my shoulders I have “spikes” I tell people that’s where my wings attach. I really don’t know much about the lineage associated with those traits
Hi Moe ….. I have made much the same observation of highly productive people having a cleft chin …… but have you ever noticed most of the real “bad guys” do too …. I am talking serial killers …. Gacy …. manson to name a few …. keep your eye out for that in your research.
Best wishes

Hello Martin,
No, I did not notice that, but thanks so much for pointing that at to me. I will definitely keep an eye out for that.
Peace be with you!
I have been researching this topic since I have a cleft chin. Abraham Lincoln, Caligula, Thomas Jefferson and many others, My question is do I share a common genetic history with these people. Are we related do we share the same history.
Yes, it is a genetic trait passed down from these very same people. Just as most all physical traits such as our height, hair and eye color etc are passed through DNA. Many of us are distant cousins now.
Thanks, it is interesting to note that the cleft chin is a unique genetic characteristic because it provides me with a visual window into my past. They found a 10,000 year old scull in a cave in France that had a cleft chin. My genes traveled through France that long ago.
The concept of race, religion, geography separates us. When we think of all the genetic mixes we can only conclude that their is only one pure race and that is the human race.
My pleasure and thank you for the great information. I wasn’t aware of that.
One of my goals with some of these articles and videos is to explore theories such as this. Some of us may be closer cousins then others and that is not a bad thing. But I do agree with you that we are now one human race and in the same breathe, still very much divided.
Martin I have been looking at cleft chin from a different angle. The question I’m asking is are people with cleft chin all related.
