(humans are endlessly interesting)Matt EvansAlways relevant: http://anthropology.msu.edu/anp202-us13/files/2012/05/Sauer-1992-Forensic-Anthropology-Race-Concept-1.pdfJan 4, 2019, 2:13 PMJanderson RexWhat an interesting paper. I wonder if the author actually believes race doesn’t exist or was merely being PC.

He doth protest a bit muchJan 4, 2019, 2:25 PMMatt EvansJanderson Rex the paper’s conclusion is hilariousJan 4, 2019, 2:32 PMSean Emm>there is no such thing as race

>who cares what skin color someone has

>there is only one race; the human race

you wouldn’t be able to tell race, gender, age, quality of life, brain size etc simply from a skull if it was a construct and only skin deepJan 4, 2019, 2:32 PMSteve PenderI made this graphic 14 years agoJan 4, 2019, 2:40 PMLiupold EngelwulfCurt I wonder if our skulls look the sameJan 4, 2019, 2:42 PMFreyr BjörnssonQuite amazing doublethink going on in this paperJan 4, 2019, 2:51 PMThomas Alt BeesleyThat caucasoid skull does seem to have an abnormal forehead from other examples I’ve seen.

*EDITTED for auto correct error*Jan 4, 2019, 2:51 PMCurt Doolittlei dunno but the only way we can tell is MRI, Xray or if our enemies decide they want to use us them for decoration.Jan 4, 2019, 2:51 PMCurt DoolittleProfiles are easier to compare.Jan 4, 2019, 2:52 PMThomas Alt BeesleyI just realized that my phone autocorrected “abnormal” to “a normal”

But yes, I agree with your statement regardless.Jan 4, 2019, 2:53 PMCurt Doolittleyes that caucasian skull has a larger lower jaw, and more overbite than usual.Jan 4, 2019, 2:54 PMCurt Doolittlejust covering his assJan 4, 2019, 2:55 PMRichard AllenJan 4, 2019, 3:14 PMRichard HallRichard Allen Race is only skin deep. 🤥Jan 4, 2019, 3:18 PMLisa OuthwaiteWhat are your thoughts on the elongated skulls found in South America and across Europe?Jan 4, 2019, 3:25 PMIan MalmströmAnd we see more similarities between asian and european skulls than between these and the african.

The denisovan/neanderthal link is prominent both when it comes to skulls and gwnetic markers (it’s no coincidence that asians and europeans have better analytic skills, and that neanderthals also have unique genes linked with analytic intelligence)Jan 4, 2019, 3:35 PMLiupold EngelwulfI’m a race realist but I’m wondering how much skulls vary among europeans. Using 1 skull from each race isn’t really doing it for me.Jan 4, 2019, 4:06 PMKari Anne DorstadI’m guess I’m a negroid ? Based on the size of head ?Jan 4, 2019, 4:11 PMCurt DoolittleNeoteny shortens the ‘snout’.Jan 4, 2019, 4:12 PMClaire Rae RandallYeah, but we’re ‘All One’, right?Jan 4, 2019, 4:13 PMKari Anne DorstadLisa Outhwaite good question!!Jan 4, 2019, 4:16 PMScott RhodesWhen I went to University, those were the only 3 acknowledged races, with the possible addition of Australian Aborigine.Jan 4, 2019, 4:30 PMSean Emmhow is this hard for race deniers to understand? you can see the human that would be skinned over these skulls quite easilyJan 4, 2019, 4:31 PMSean EmmJan 4, 2019, 4:33 PMGöran DahlTechnically, your university is right. When you look at a PCA-plot, you only see three large macroclusters, namely Sub-Saharan African, East Eurasian and West Eurasian; and then there are outliers and mixed ethnicities in-between them.Jan 4, 2019, 4:33 PMScott RhodesGöran Dahl I was satisfied with the nomenclature then and still am today, as you have underscored. Today, laypeople and even many who should know better, label religious groups and the like as “races”.Jan 4, 2019, 4:48 PMThomas Alt BeesleyWell, that and the forehead is malformed. It’s domed in the middle. Typically it’s flatter.Jan 4, 2019, 5:13 PMThomas Alt BeesleyLike this.Jan 4, 2019, 5:13 PMRichard HallMatt Evans Yea part of the abstract hints at race being a social construct:

“It is maintained in this paper that the successful

assignment of race to a skeletal specimen is not a vindication of the race concept, but rather a prediction

that an individual, while alive was assigned to a particular socially constructed ‘racial’ category. A

specimen may display features that point to African ancestry. In this country that person is likely to have

been labeled Black regardless of whether or not such a race actually exists in nature.”

An odd and needless knot to the himself in to.Jan 4, 2019, 6:20 PMRichard HallLiupold Engelwulf I’m sure this has been done with skulls that represent statistical averages.Jan 4, 2019, 6:22 PMChristian GrønningJan 4, 2019, 6:52 PMGreg Hamiltonthe fact that unless people are mixed they can be 100% sorted visually of course means nothing…

The fact they can be sorted visually just by bones. Means nothing…

The fact they can be DNA sorted means nothing…

Somehow race doesn’t exist ..Jan 4, 2019, 8:55 PMDustin HutchinsonLook at the highly developed prefrontal cortex on that beautiful caucasoid skull…

I wonder if that has any special significance?Jan 4, 2019, 8:59 PMThomas Alt Beesleyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqqdkKwbyG4Jan 4, 2019, 9:07 PMShawn David GevedonAccording J Phillip Rushton the White average brain size is about 1347cc’s and the Black average brain size is 1267cc’s. In contrast, the largest brain size recorded for an individual ape is 700cc’s. Scientists for a long, long time have known blacks have smaller brain size on average. If you can find a 1959 enclyclopedia Britannica the section on races will mention Whites have a larger brain size on average. The juice and liberals have had this racial information scrubbed from most books published after 1959. These are African Amercan stats the Sub Saharan black brain even smaller and IQ around 75. Dumb people will say blacks can be doctors, lawyers etc. that just repetition, practice anyone can do that but creativity is where smartness counts. The African hasn’t created nothing, couldn’t even grab concept of the wheel, domesticate animals, written language and so on. It’s sad that we cant discuss the truth that word racist is so important. I judge anyone by character I growed up in the hood, went to majority black schools.Jan 4, 2019, 9:07 PMThomas Alt BeesleyLooks like McNabb’s head tbh.Jan 4, 2019, 9:08 PMShawn David GevedonFront of brain is where the creativity lies.Jan 4, 2019, 9:27 PMAndrea RoyallThomas- I don’t know how old the skull is in the first profile.. but you can get “doming” with cranial malformation/ attempted correction during infancy.Jan 4, 2019, 11:44 PMThomas Alt BeesleyIt’s definitely interesting. I wonder what caused it.Jan 4, 2019, 11:47 PMAndrea RoyallWhat I see in modern infants is… they’re either premie, or sick and they’ve laid too long on one side and it’s created angles in the skull. These children go to a cranio-plastics physician and are measured and fitted for helmets that place pressure on certain points on the skull to decrease the angles. That can create a slight “dome” in the forehead. The helmets have a much higher efficiency if the Fontanelle hasn’t closed.Jan 4, 2019, 11:51 PMAndrea RoyallThat’s why I’d be interested to know how old that skull is…Jan 4, 2019, 11:51 PMCody McDonaldAsians and Caucasians are human the rest are notJan 5, 2019, 12:26 AMOdin WachtendorfTo be fair though, all hominids are a human.

One might be able to argue that Euro’s and Asians are if the same Sub-Species, where as Africans are not.Jan 5, 2019, 1:26 AMCody McDonaldAfricans are workers created by the space Jews (annunahki) to farm goldJan 5, 2019, 1:30 AMGöran DahlIt was a religious practice. The opposite was found in Proto-Indo-Europeans, more specifically Bell Beakers, who practiced intense board-swaddling on their babies to flatten their occipital bones, making them hyperbrachycephalic; a phenomenon still seen in East Asia and Southern Siberia, the latter being the place of origin for the paternal line of PIE people.Jan 5, 2019, 5:35 AMLisa OuthwaiteGöran Dahl Some of them fall into that category but head-boarding doesn’t increase the cranial volume. Some were legitimately elongated and larger. It explains why some societies practice such a bizarre custom – in order to mimic a previous elite class.Jan 5, 2019, 6:07 AMSimon StrömIan Malmström get varg out of your head. Modern Eurasians are closely related in a global context on account of having separated from Africans before splitting up while colonizing the world. Minuscule Neanderthal/Denisovan admixture are artifacts of having displaced other hominids during said colonization.Jan 5, 2019, 6:24 AMMartin ŠtěpánSimon Ström Didn’t Asians and Indo-Europeans leave it separately, making both of our closest relatives Africans and the similarities between us a case of convergent evolution?Jan 5, 2019, 6:59 AMMartin ŠtěpánAustralian is often unmentioned because they’re ultimately insignificant, as are dravidians. I also used to believe in Amerindian bring a separate race, altough I’m not sure where I got it from.Jan 5, 2019, 7:01 AMMartin ŠtěpánAgain, isn’t the divergence of Asians from Africans a seperate event to the seperating of Indo-Europeans from Africans?Jan 5, 2019, 7:03 AMCody McDonaldPeople may have went to Central Asia first and branched from there , also Asians have some other homonid mixed in with them like Europeans n whites have neanderthal mixed inJan 5, 2019, 7:26 AMAbhimanyu KarnawatRetards everywhere,do you understand the ecological fallacy?Jan 5, 2019, 8:13 AMAbhimanyu KarnawatDo you understand the bell curve?Jan 5, 2019, 10:13 AMSimon StrömNo. West (Caucasoid) and East (Mongoloid) Eurasians are more similar to each other than to Africans in terms of raw quantitative genetics, meaning shared drift and common descent, and not just by phys anthro metrics which may or may not be a result of convergent evolution.

Indo-European is an ethnolinguistic term which should not be used as a synonym for West Eurasians.

It should be stated however that all West Eurasians have varying degrees of ancestry from the “basal eurasians” who separated from the main Eurasian branch of anatomically modern humans, before the latter split into what would constitute the bulk of ancestries of West and East Eurasians, respectively.Jan 5, 2019, 5:54 PMAaron MilewskiOne more for the pile. 👌Jan 5, 2019, 7:21 PMLee TuckerGöran Dahl I thought Malay rated a separate categoryJan 6, 2019, 12:08 AMGöran DahlVery odd thing to say when they look like your average run-of-the-mill Southeast Asians, like Thais and Vietnamese. Perhaps you meant Papua New Guineans or something.Jan 6, 2019, 3:39 AMChris Bakerhttps://theracecardproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Skeleton-B05.jpg
