There is no other accurate way to measure without calipers,get calipers or don't measure because everything will be wrong.

Wrong. They were bracycephalic:
When measured from ophyron, a point on the frontal bone behind the browridges, the crania of these Neanderthals have the following lengths: three males, 193, 186, 187; three females, 185, 183, 186 mm. These are shorter than the French Upper Palaeolithic means, taken from the same point, of 195.6 mm. for males, and 188.6 mm. for females. The cranial indices calculated from these lengths are, in five out of eight Neanderthal cases, above 80.0. Thus there was, in the Neanderthal group as we know it, a brachycranial, or brachycerebral, tendency in brain form. That it may have done so in the case of the French brachycephals, notably Solutré #2, which has a cranial length of 182.5 mm., is by no means more than a suggestion.

Neanderthal:
-- Earnest HootonAll three of the best-preserved Middle Paleolithic skulls from Krapina are roundheads, and the most complete specimen from Fontechevade is nearly so (cranial index about 79).

Bird's eye view of a Neanderthal skull. Cranial shape is impressive as fuck. That exotic pentagonoid parietal expansion.

Prove? By you? Where?
Do you use calculator? So divide pixel breadth by pixel length and you have estimated CI for this head You must use Photoshop or other graphic program of course to know pixels.
But it's even simpler. If this head is similar in shape to long rectangle (and it is) is much longer than wider, so doli or meso (if rectangle is shorter).
If it's similar in shape to square as probably yours is brachy
No need to debate. It's simple dividing or geometry. IF two or three pixels are for short hair, it's not important. It never be brachy.
Of course it's estimation. For those who don't have callipers. But better than retarted CI estimation from frontal facial view...
Small hint for you. This head doesn't have browridges "to cut off"

Cephalic /cranial index
Do you understand now? Or it's too hard?

La Chapelle Neanderthal:
Head breadth: 156.5mm
Head length from ophryon: 186mm
156.5 x 100 / 186 = cephalic index of 84 = just short of hyperbrachycephaly.
You are defeated. The numbers have proven your defective dolicocephalic vision wrong. Turn the computer off now.

If it is shaped like a pentagon, it is brachy.
