In 1931 German anthro-psycho-doktor T.Y. Roschier measured bunch of Karelian tribesmen. His broadskull champion had skull breadth of 185 mm. This is almost 5 cm's broader than the UP average, and, after taking closer look at officially measured specs of various Finnish tribes, it looks to be Finnish champion as well. Hooorayh!
Here are the averages for various Finnish tribes. I must say, on the whole, the Karelian sample looks suspicious, as it has much higher variation than the rest of the samples. There is no way a pure ethnic Karelian has skull breadth of 12cm's, unless it's suffering from some disease So I don't know what hobo-drifters the psycho-dok has measured
