I know of an African tribe that does this on purpose to "acquire the powers of gods", so I know for a fact that the elongated skulls belonged to a ruling race of "they want to be praised as gods, but they are not gods".
Definitely something to research. However, I have nothing to go on but just an elongated skull. What is the purpose? What is the difference? I don't know.
Could this be a trick? Easily. Africans use ropes to tie on their head from birth to mold their skulls into shape. Who is to know whether these skulls belonged to the same tribe or similar. Skull formation can be changed even after death. I don't have anything to go on, but elongated skulls are a thing. How important they were, I cannot tell. Were they important or just a "trend" - I cannot tell.
Yes Neanderthals had a practice of skull re-shaping. See my other comment.
Cmon...
Bottom line - strange skulls exist. Any correlation to actual difference in skulls making a difference mentally, physically, etc. - None. I understand that it is an interesting thought and perhaps holds some secret information that I am missing. But that is hardly a different race of people or someone with more potential than a regular human. Still, if you have any arguments, I would like to hear them.
Skulls can be reshaped after death.
What about the differences in sutures and massive brain size?
Perhaps you can help me out with sources that I can investigate before I give you my opinion? Never heard of massive brain size before and I wonder what sutures you mean.
