Still Waters Posted November 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Artificial cranial deformation - or the practice of intentionally changing the shape of a person's skull - has been practiced by Neanderthals of 40,000 years ago until very recently, maybe even still today. People on every continent except Antarctica have done it, making heads more cylindrical, cone-shaped, ridgier, bumpier or flatter depending on the region. The reason, most archaeologists believe, was pretty much the same reason we modify our bodies today: to show an association with a particular social group. http://motherboard.v...ing-their-heads 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Grey Posted November 25, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2014 What was this "social group" that people 40,000 years ago wanted to be a part of so badly? Groups of Neanderthals separated by continents just arbitrarily started warping the shape of their skulls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
