Does Britain have the longest heads in Europe?

[Oliver109]

The British seem to have the longest heads in many cases, are they the longest on the continent?

The Spanish are heads up too

[Russki]

You have Portuguese/Spaniards and Norwegians/Swedes as great runner-ups.

Scandinavians have very long heads but the British seem longer headed than the Spanish or Portuguese, even though the cepalhic index is lower there i think that individual Brits surpass the Iberians on head and face lenght. especially the Anglo Saxon, Tronder types etc.

The Portuguese are the longest-headed Europeans according to past-century data collected by physical anthropologists. I doubt things changed significantly since then.

Correct but what about individual samples? i think some British corded or keltic types might surpass them

You're mistaking head length and face length.
Keltic Nordid features a long face, but head length is medium. It's a mesocephalic type.

I would say Iberians.
Brits tend to have a lot of potato heads. But if we are talking about long head extremes I think Brits could acutally win this, but if we talk about general average of long heads, Iberia is the winner.

[Gebachs]

The majority of Brits have round heads because of Celtic heritage. I'd say the longest heads are in south-eastern Iberia.

No, they are from England, funnily enough my family are from south eastern Iberia, they are more short headed.
