Dave, you have defeated my "Oxford Concise Dictionary". Please define
'opisthognathous' in the context you used above.

Thanks

Opistho- is a Greek adjective meaning 'behind' (the opposite of pro- 
meaning 'in front')
Gnathos is Greek for a jaw.

So presumably Dave means 'chinless' (the opposite of Neanderthals who 
were prognathous, like Dubya).
