    Default Howell's giant set of metric data.

    We really need a sticky for important, freely available data sets like this...rather than all theses stickies for 5,000 different types, some of which are halfbreed and only half-existent.

    Anyways, out of respect and the scientists wishes, here is the citations for the work, and the link to the website which you can download it. There are over 3,000 skulls (ancient and modern) with a huge array of measurements, half of which I don't even know what they are...I have a document attached that explains some measurements, but it would be nice if anyone who could decipher some could help fill them in to make a full key.

    Oh boy, which ones correspond to these values?

    I am not sure there's much reason to care unless you have a bunch of people who may have tribal ancestry, but it might be interesting to see how some of the euro skulls measure up.
