Question

While reading an article for your archaeology class, you come across a section in which the author lays out a claim for why the Mesolithic foragers with long and narrow skulls were replaced by the agriculturalists with short and wide skulls in Nubia. Why is this claim that "short-headed" people came in and replaced all the "long-headed" people likely false?

Answer 1

Changes in the brain and face can be assigned to changes in the person's diet that occur long-term rather than being assigned to population replacement.
