In regards to what?

If you are talking about Cranial Vault length, it's found mostly in Asiatic influenced people and is artificial, super high vault length is a deformity. People with higher than normal vaults generally aren't robust people with thinner bone structures. Probably a result of selective breeding since it's found among pastoral peoples. Smaller people and smaller bones means less food production. That being said it's all dependent on what we are talking about, all humans tend to have high vaults in comparison to aboriginals etc. Even archaic European phenotypes such as mine have high vaults, it is a naturual homo sapien evolution. The people with low vaults are people who have interbred too much or possibly a result of inbreeding. Low vaults are found mostly in inbred populations such as where you find Lappids, south Asia and Africa. It is an archiac feature that has been bred out of most humans including most Northern Asiatics.

he is talking elongation not point I think, I honestly don't even know what he is referencing XD. The Sagittal keel is the top of the vault, the Vault encompasses the entire top portion of your cranium.

humans are elongated vertical mostly, that is what I think he is talking about. The point/sagittal keel is just a growth of the bone, possibly a sign of the skull beginning to grow vertical instead of horizontal and to the back like non human primates did.

So that point above the skull is called as sagital keel? I've always wondered why some people like neanderthals don't seen to have it
