Interestingly this results also in a change of head and face proportions. You can see a similar phenomen also in some animals. In some species unusually large specimens (normally males) sometimes show quite extreme skull mophologies, for example in elephants or bears. orMarkushttp://www.bestiarium.kryptozoologie.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-11329526532828860382012-06-10T10:48:46.189-04:002012-06-10T10:48:46.189-04:00Seems like a lot of politicians heads are getting ...Seems like a lot of politicians heads are getting SMALLER...................jeff jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996337570175075303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-72203700049638284962012-06-10T10:11:47.993-04:002012-06-10T10:11:47.993-04:00That's a funny observation, because the other ...That's a funny observation, because the other day I was looking and I noticed that my head has narrowed.

Today our diet allows people to reach their genetic potential in height. Taller people have proportionately more brain volume, so it could be really that people are able to grow bigger all over, not just in their skull capacity.Lee Jerretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086492356538051129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-36628474000641658582012-06-09T12:59:41.329-04:002012-06-09T12:59:41.329-04:00That's hard to get my head around.
