[QUOTE]Originally posted by Knowledgeiskey718: [QB] [QUOTE]what is an occipital bun? [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Knowledgeiskey718: [qb] Originally posted by Boofer [QUOTE] Is it so unlikely that these might be people from the North (ie Mediterraneans)? North Africa has "Mediterranean" looking people. It's almost as if everyone is opposed to the mere possibility that these folks could be of Mediterranean origin. However, I understand why you guys question their terminology, as I've heard of other "black" African's having "caucasoid" skulls. I'm interested in seeing how these "Mediterranean" skulls supposedly differ (or relate) from nearby modern day populations (including the Fula and the Tuareg). In my honest opinion, I would guess that the modern day populations have origins in both of these distinct groups. I wouldn't doubt that there was a Mediterranean influence considering the Tuareg, who are a berber group.

(B)-Bottom view of burial in A showing a mud turtle carapace (Pelusios adansonii) in contact with the ventral aspect of the pelvic girdle. [b](C)-Skull from burial in A and B showing high calvarium, narrow zygomatic width and more prognathous face.[/b] --Paul C. Sereno [IMG]http://www.plosone.org/journals/plosone/article/fetchObject.action?uri=info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0002995.g005&representation=PNG_M[/IMG] The occipital bone, a saucer-shaped membrane bone situated at the back and lower part of the cranium, is trapezoid in shape and curved on itself. It is pierced by a large oval aperture, the foramen magnum, through which the cranial cavity communicates with the vertebral canal.

Dating from the Mesolithic-Holocene period, it is typical of crania in Sudan and surrounding regions from that time frame.
