The philtrum provides our mouth with a better maneuverability function. 

 

So, the philtrum allows for: 

⇤ Increased expression and extension of the upper lip and mouth. 

⇤ Feeling food and grasping the lips. 

⇤ A wider range of facial expressions, such as laughing, smiling, growling, etc. 

 

With facial expressions being such a huge component of verbal and nonverbal communication, it becomes easy to imagine that the philtrum is a useful evolutionary tool.

 It offers clear advantages in communication.

Beyond communication ...

 The philtrum may also have something to do with one of our primary senses. According to the National Library of Medicine, our sense of smell has always played an important role in survival. 

However, it is not difficult to assume that our philtrum grooves aid our sense of smell and thus our ability to recognize objects in our environment, including: 

 

Dangers, Enemies and Food.

The face is like a bottle (Zen Tang) and the philtrum is like the neck of a bottle.

The eyebrows collect chances of luck before the age of 30 and let it flow into the area through the point of the nose (Zhen Tang). The tip of the nose and the wings act as a reservoir of chances of luck in the middle ages. Then it flows from this reservoir to the mouth (the sea). Through the philtrum.

A long, deep philtrum means a long life,
