Why are modern cro-magnids brachycephalic?

[Joso]

Where not the first cro-magnons dolichocephalic? Then why modern cro-magnids are brachycephalic? Some pesons sugests that it is because of mongoloid admixture but i doubt that lol

Isn't it because of alpine admixture?

But are not alpinids just reduced cro-magnons?

Yeah I heard that as well. Phenotype origins can be very confusing tbh.

Btw, where is Berkan? Aren't topics like these his specialty? Lol

I am not sure but it might be because of Eastern Hunter Gatherers who were genetically very close to Ancestral North Eurasians. However, mine is just a guess.

There are no modern Cromagnons. Maybe we could say that we (Europeans) have a degree of WHG ancestry.

However CM was long headed because if occipital prominence but also broad headed too.
From this, with successive admixtures and centuries of evolution anything could come out.
