Origin of brachy-¹

from Greek brakhus short

It is shewn that early palaeolithic man presents examples of skulls both of brachy-cephalic and dolicho-cephalic proportions.

Where they have become carnivorous, aggressive, and actively barbarous, the brachy-kephalic forms abound.

The most typical cases both of brachy and dolicho deformation are from the Cerro de las Palmas graves in south-west Mexico.

Changed "short-fluited" to "short-fruited" in the index entry for "Brachy-."

Skull, normally brachy (80 to 84), but in parts of China sub-dolicho and high.
