Obviously false or maybe it was for that period which i doubt.
Most obivously flaw is that Greece is way to dark ,i believe Romania should be darker,most are brachy here by far due to alpine and other brachy elements whereas greeks have much less of those ...

The map is inaccurate only because it uses the retarded 20th century method of measuring head length (from the glabella). The original treatise on cephalic index from 1842 recommends that it be messured from inbetween the frontal eminences which subtracts the brow ridge from the measurement. This is why England, North Germany and Scandinavia look more dolicoceohalic than they really are (brow ridge size reaches its ultimate extreme in these countries).

Do you know of a more modern map?

Nope. The most accurate maps would have been produced in the 1850s (if anyone even produced any back then). 1890s/1900s is when anthropology started going to shit. Nobody really cares about cephalic index anymore so I wouldn't expect anything to be produced any time soon.
