Let's throw down here the following affirmation:
Too large rhomboid occiputs and big browridges found in modern humans belonging to phenotypes such as nordid, brunn and the amerindian ones are actually just a product of Homo erectus or Homo hedelbergensis admixture, not from neanderthal most of the time.
The famous European hominins, specially the later ones, were going through a reduction process, aproaxing the shape of a ball at the extremities for cold adaptation and, as a consequence, their browrides and occipiral became relatively small.
Their temporals, parietals and minimum frontal also widenned( majority of their body parts shorterned and widenned), with that they obtained a brachycranial cephalic index( specially if we discount the browridges).
Neanderthals would also have frequently flattened their foreheads and occipital and thus would became even hyperbrachycephalic.
Do you think it is true?
Discuss.
