Agriculture Is Bad for You

[Batrus]

For what i understand East asians have a much more vegetarian diet than europeans, but they have a higher cephalic index.

[Agrippa]

One of the groups with the roundest-shortest skulls are Dinaroids and they were highly efficient herders - whereas Negritids are often rather long skulled though totally reduced. You see that brachycephaly alone is not important. In the case of Alpinisation its an allometric correlation involved to from Cromagnoids (!) - so the Cromagnoid base - if brachymorphised, becomes brachycephalic, not all other groups necessarily.

Furthermore in the case of East Asians we have to distinguish between the various forms and typical Sinids are not that brachycephalic indeed, but they lived mostly from combined economy when the racial forms came up as well. In the Nordsinid areas animal husbandry was common, in the Mittelsinid as well with important fish and sea food coming in too. Furthermore the selective processes helped to keep a certain standard - areas of retreat are a different matter - and interestingly more often brachycephalic and Palaemongolid influenced...for Tungids the same is true as for brachymorphised Europid Cromagnoids.
