When the researchers compared the 30 genomic regions associated with head shape across participants with European, African and Indigenous American ancestry, they found that the majority of genetic ...

This shape didn’t appear immediately in our species; we know that 300,000-year-old modern human fossils from Morocco have elongated crania much like older human species. It took some time to get ...

Rare Neanderthal DNA mean some people’s brains are slightly different shape, study suggests. Interbreeding with ancient humans means ancient genetic fragments still shaping heads of some Europeans ...

“Anthropologists have speculated and debated the genetics of cranial vault shape since the early 20th century,” said co-senior author Seth Weinberg, Ph.D., professor of oral and craniofacial sciences ...
