Does the outie predate the innie?
Some people have innies some people have outies. Was there a time when everyone had the same sort of belly button feature? Which is preferred?
Is there a final word on belly buttons?

Outies predate.
The bellybutton you end up with has a lot to do with how you were separated from the placenta at birth. Outies are more easily achieved by basic methods.
It was a button before it was a hole, hence the name.
So why the move to the recessed bb?
A baby has the placenta attached to the belly for a couple of weeks after birth. It forms its own kind of scar, and it does not have anything to do with anyone but the baby’s body. I don’t know about which predates or if either does, but this would appear to be a genetic item.
