You'd have to compare hundreds of skulls--really get familiar with them. I know that there are people who do this. But unless you're going to seriously do that, best to remain silent on it. Otherwise, it leads to silliness at best, feeds race-hatred at worst. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-50138647466688269962012-10-23T14:41:14.181-07:002012-10-23T14:41:14.181-07:00I agree that comparing only two skulls does not ge...I agree that comparing only two skulls does not get you far. On the other hand, I don't believe this is the point being made. I believe the key point being made is that political correctness gets in the way of neutral scientific study and creates a kind of ignorance to the truth of human diversity. On the other hand his example given isn't the best one. We really can't say for certain that the original alignment in that picture was to hide the difference between the proportions of the face to the cranium. The original simply looks better for a start with the top and bottom aligned.<br /><br />The diet argument sounds like a load of crap to me. There are so many things that complicate the argument on diet. Different people are more genetically suited to different diets. Whether or not it has ten times more vitamins in a particular form or not makes no difference with no other data. That could turn out to be a hundred times more than your body can actually use. The western diet on the whole is not problem free but I would not say the ultimate diet is nothing but bush meat and a few berries.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-20708068780221291802009-12-08T14:31:27.098-08:002009-12-08T14:31:27.098-08:00Simplistic drivel.

Chin size is not a "racial trait" its possibly a ethnic trait but even that is not absolute. <br /><br />Actually, a generalization of Africans in contrast to Europeans is having a protruding round forehead, where as more Europeans have a flat sloped forehead (often noted in people with roman noses).<br /><br />The picture is merely comparing 2 individual skulls. <b>Its no different that taking Gary Coleman's and Yao Min's skeleton and saying Africans are small and Asians are Big.</b> <br />It just inaccurate and simplistic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-85197401730065530982009-10-29T10:57:55.031-07:002009-10-29T10:57:55.031-07:00Proving racial hierarchies with photoshop adjustme...Proving racial hierarchies with photoshop adjustments over illustrations.

Specifically, you need a diet high in those oh-so-deplored animal fats. Diets of hunter-gatherers eating traditional foodstuffs are at least TEN times greater in fat-soluble vitamins (A and D). That Nuer gets plenty of fatty meat.<br /><br />Grain-heavy, undernourishing, politically correct diets, and diets high in trashy commercial foods, will not nourish the parents before conception, the child in the womb, the mother during lactation, or the infant during growth. The normal face-shape for *all* humans is broad with a strong jaw. If your teeth don't fit the jaw -- if you've some extracted, have impacted wisdom teeth, or have worn a dental brace, it's because the middle third of your face and the lower mandible didn't grow as it should have. That's a result of inadequate nutrition.<br /><br />I'm not interested in saying that the Nuer would be as clever (or cleverer) than any given white man -- although he *might* be -- because I think that's political correctness, and I believe political correctness to be a lot of look-at-me sentimental grandstanding.<br /><br />But you're missing the bigger picture here -- which is the US (and European) Governments pushing so-called "healthy" diets at people that are actually unhealthy and ruin their dental and also cranial health. (Big business and the trashy nutrient-starved processed foods it markets is also implicated.)<br /><br />There's a huge knock-on effect from that on general health, too.<br /><br />Why do professors have weak chins? I'm not sure they all do. Has anyone done a reliable survey on it? If they do what would it mean? Well their heads would be unbalanced: think of the effect that has on posture. Lack of development in the face -- evidenced by narrowing and lengthening (this is why the sample "white skull" is taller; but you can see the same effect in urbanised blacks) -- also impacts on the nose and airways. That affects breathing, which is crucial to sport. Maybe your professor isn't so smart after all. Perhaps he can't swim or run or catch a cricket ball or a rugby ball as well as the other children. Perhaps that's why he spent more time with his books.<br /><br />In any event, here's an explanation of the development of the teeth and skull by a more-than-usually clued-up dentist:<br /><br />http://www.westonaprice.org/healthissues/facial-development.html<br /><br />CheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
