Biggest Occiput Of The Apricity (Contest)

[Albertón]

Following our good friend, Mr G, lets make the inverse thread.
Some examples.
Neanderthal skull( in the right):

Basque man, he is the fig 4 of plate 23 of Coon's book "TROE", with the head length of 200mm:

Ettore Majorana, Italian scientist. Note how is foramen magnun is so posteriorly located like a neanderthal( but unlike the Basque example above):

I have a big occiput but nothing overly extraordinary.

Post a photo pls so we can analyze

I probably have longest skull on entire TA, it's abnormaly long for modern standards (and my face is very narrow). My CI is 67

Cool! Btw is your occipital high located? It's most protruding part seens to be sligthly above the eyeline.
Your glabella doesn't look very prominent.
I don't think your skull is the longest of TA but it is quite good for a woman.
Did you measured your Cephalic index with calipers and are you sure you did it correctly?
67 sounds too low for a European but idk for women.
Cannot say much because of the hair and shadow.
We can continue our conversation in PM, ok.

[Donhueas]

Good time to ask how this is. These parts qualify as chama-, ortho-, or hypsy-cranic? Or do they have another nomenclature?

[Mr.G]

If memory serves Mr. Nurzat has some significant occipital projection.

I notice you mentioned your face is narrow...
Skull breadth is measured just above the ears, not in the face. :P

Yes and I have very narrow forehead. To answer your question, I measured myself via guideline on Diekenes website. So yes, should be fairly correct.
my skull is not the longest as I am a woman, but CI is probably the lowest because in combo of a long skull, dolphin like forehead which is vertical I have very narrow face (except cheekbones)

I need special issue glasses because standard ones are too wide for me.

[Albertón]

Double.

Hmm ok but skull breadth is measured in the biparietal region, not on the forehead:
"The cephalic index or cranial index is the ratio of the maximum width (biparietal diameter or BPD, side to side) of the head of an organism multiplied by 100 and then divided by their maximum length (occipitofrontal diameter or OFD, front to back). The index is used to categorize both humans and animals alike, the latter to dogs and cats especially."

yeah, well, I followed his guidelines. This way years ago so...not remembering the details exactly.

Ok but would be good to you know if you measure it again,
use the widest part of your skull for head breadth if you do.
