“…Our result support earlier studies (e.g., Howells, 1973Howells, , 1989Hennessy and Stringer, 2002;Hanihara, 2000) by showing that the Inuit differ from other regional groups mainly in their facial flatness (Howells, 1973(Howells, , 1989Hennessy and Stringer, 2002); the SW Amerindian group has a more robust and transversely projecting zygomatic region (Hanihara, 2000); Austria/France have narrower faces, retracted zygomatic bones, projecting nasal bones and vertical frontal bones (Howells, 1973(Howells, , 1989Luboga and Wood, 1990;Lynch et al, 1996;Hanihara, 2000;Hennessy and Stringer, 2002); and the Khoisan have smaller facial breadths and heights combined with broad nasal apertures (Howells, 1973), as well as an angled (anteroinferiorly) infraorbital region and projecting zygomatic bones.…”
