All the beautiful baby faces in this world start their development in the mother's womb about two to three months after the egg is fertilized. Ever been curious what this facial evolution might look like? Well, this in-utero footage of face development in the womb from the BBC is quite breathtaking, albeit a little creepy and weird at times, but beautiful.
Watch closely as a fetus develops from an indistinguishable blob into a recognizable human with facial features in the following very cool and trippy time lapse video.
WATCH the video of Face Development in the Womb:
Isn't it amazing how cells meld together into larger segments that then fit together like puzzles, which then become our unique faces? Truly miraculous! I had no idea. And after watching this video, I now have a name for that little indent above the top lip -- the philtrum -- and some science-backed information about why it exists.
Humans are awesome.

Very cool! I'll be sharing this vid for sure!
I think it is amazing that they have footage like that.
that was really neat, i wish there was more though!
Amazing and yet being that I am about to pop out a new little one any moment I kind of wish I had waited until the weird prego dreams are over before I had watched that. I am a little freaked out only because I know I am going to be dreaming of that series of images for a while.
Holy... Wow!! that is amazing!!
Very awesome!
My son was born with a cleft lip and palate, so this is fascinating to me. It's easy to see from this how it is the third most common birth defect. I've also heard the philtrum referred to as the "cupid's bow."
really cool. ive never seen that befoere. i forgot what the thing is called above your lip.
wow.....very cool
