	Dolichocephalic - LoveToKnow 1911
		DOLICHOCEPHALIC (long-headed), a term invented by Andreas Retzius to denote (as opposed to "brachycephalic") those skulls the diameter of which from side to side, or the transverse diameter, is small in comparison with the longitudinal diameter or that from front to back.
		To-day it is characteristic of the negro races, of the Papuans, the Polynesians and the Australians, though among the negritos and some of the pigmy races of Africa brachycephalic skulls are the rule.
		Of white races the Arabs and Kabyles of Algeria, and the Guanchos of the Canary Islands, are most notable for dolichocephalic tendency.

		The condition of being dolichocephalic is known as dolichocephaly.
		Dolichocephalic is also known as dolichocranial, dolichocephalous, cymbocephalic, cymbocephalous, tectocephalic, scaphocephalic, and scaphocephalous.

	Human Race
		The Ethiopian race includes the inhabitants of Africa except the Caucasian Africans in the north; the skull is dolichocephalic, the forehead full, the cheek-bones prominent, the nostrils wide, the alveolar arch narrow and prominent, the jaws prognathous, and the lower jaw large and strong.
		Of those with dolichocephalic crania, one division is blond and large (Anglo- Scandinavian or Cymric); another large with red hair (first type of the Finns); a third brunette and relatively small (Mediterranean races).
		The Eskimo are small, dolichocephalic, and have a yellow skin; the Tehuelches are large, dolichocephalic, and have a reddish skin; the Polynesians are large, mesocephalic, and have a reddish skin.

		Another remarkable fact is the striking absence of the dolichocephalic type, which is characteristic of all the other modern Semitic races and tribes, as the Arabs, Syrians, Abyssinians, etc. Among the modern Jews this ranges, as is seen in the table, from 1 per cent, in Blechman's series, to 7.3 per cent in Glück's.
		The pure Semitic skull is dolichocephalic, as may be seen from a study of the heads of modern Arabs, Abyssinians, Syrians, etc. The cephalic index of these races is from 73 to 77.
		The opinion that the Sephardim are dolichocephalic, while the Ashkenazim are brachycephalic, is not supported by craniometrical research on European Jews.

	Etruscan Bologna: A Study
		The bones vary from the very massive to the remarkably thin, and the first points which struck me were the shortness of the lower bitemporal diameter, the long square face, and the flatness or compression of the parietes, which every traveller remarks in the Bedawin, the flower of the Semitic race.
		The average cranial capacity of both sexes is 1,344 cubic centimetres (= 82∙022 cubic inches), of the men 1,560 (= 95∙204 cubic inches), a figure superior to the dolichocephalic Etruscans and Kelts, and equal to the Romans.
		Thus the Felsineans are the least dolichocephalic of the three races, the cephalic index averaging 79∙35; the Umbrians 78∙21, and the Etruscans 76∙22: whilst the maximum is 86∙36, and the minimum is 75∙00 ‑‑ an extreme difference of only 11∙36.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Human Race
		Frankfort Agreement of 1882 skulls are divided into narrow or dolichocephalic (up to 74.9), medium or mesocephalic (75.0 to 79.9), and broad or brachycephalic (over 80.0); and further into low or chamaecephalic (up to 70.0), medium or orthocephalic (70.1 to 75.0), and high or hypsicephalic (over 75.0).

	Essentials of Facial Growth - Chapter 8
		Two extremes exist for the shape of the head: the long, narrow (dolichocephalic) headform and the wide, short, globular (brachycephalic) headform.
		The anterior part of the skull retains the relative narrowness that characterizes the dolichocephalic pattern.
		The long, narrow dolichocephalic basicranium and facial airway lead to facial features that essentially parallel those of the male face.

	Anthropometry obsessions: example of how little the anthropometric measure cephalic index can mean
		Assuming such to be the case, the Rumsfeld on the left, has a cephalic index of 65, which would be called dolicocephalic, due to a slight narrowing of the face that I have accomplished using the Microsoft Paint Program; and the Rumsfeld on the right would be brachycephalic, with a cephalic index of 85.
		Likewise assuming the ape in the middle to have a cephalic index of 75, the ape on the left would be a dolichocephalic with cephalic index of 65 and the ape on the right would be a brachycephalic with a cephalic index of 85.
		The difference between the dolichocephalic ape and the brachycephalic ape, is clearly much less than the difference between any of the apes and any of the Rumsfelds.

	Long-faced Mediterraneans of the Western Asiatic Highlands (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the highland zone of western Asia, aside from the Alpine rëemergences already studied, the most important racial type is a moderately tall to tall, slender, brunet Mediterranean type characterized especially by a great length of the face and nose.
		In Syria and Anatolia, as in Armenia and the Caucasus, this type occurs sporadically in the midst of Alpines and, more commonly, of Alpine-Mediterranean hybrids; in Iran and Afghanistan the dolichocephalic strain or strains are numerically predominant.
		Dolichocephalic Armenians are rare; this individual appears to be a perfect example of the tall, long-headed, and long-faced Mediterranean prototype which, brachycephalized by Alpine admixture, is at the basis of the Armenian population.

		He again presented the anthropological evidence the cranial measurements of the modern Jews, stating: "Their skulls are mainly brachycephalic; that is, the breadth is generally over 80 per cent of the length.
		He was the former president of The Jewish Historical Society of England and obviously could not bring himself to break with the great strength of the "Jewish" tradition.
		As has been seen, all results of craniometry prove that the Jews are brachycephalic, and that the dolichocephalic form is only found among them in less than two percent of the cases" (Jew.

	Main Races Of Mankind
		While some ethnolorgists regard the difference between brachycephaly and dolichocephaly as a difference of quite primary importance, another school which the writer must confess has entirely captured his convictions dismisses this as a mere secondary distinction.
		In Neolithic Britain and in Scandinavia the earliest barrows (= tomb mounds) are long grave-shaped barrows and the late ones round, and the skulls found in the former are usually dolichocephalic and the latter most frequently brachycephalic.
		But it is this study of skull shapes which has led many ethnologists to divide the Caucasian race not, as it was divided by Huxley, into two, the northern blonds and the Mediterranean and North African dark whites or brunets, but into three.

	Religion of the Ancient Celts - the Celtic People
		But the Celts, as we know them, must have mingled with the aborigines of Europe and become a mixed race, though preserving and endowing others with their racial and mental characteristics.
		Intermarriage with the already mixed Neolithic folk of Central Europe produced further removal from the unmixed Celtic racial type; but though both reacted on each other as far as language, custom, and belief were concerned, on the whole the Celtic elements predominated in these respects.
		Thus even the first Celtic arrivals in Britain, the Goidels, were a people of mixed race, though probably relatively purer than the late coming Brythons, the latest of whom had probably mingled with the Teutons.

	The Copper Age in Europe North of the Mediterranean Lands: Danubian Movements and Bell Beakers
		From this evidence, such as it is, we may deduce that the people who brought copper into the Danube Valley at the close of the Neolithic period came from two centers, southern Russia and the Caucasus, and Anatolia, by way of Troy.
		The chief carriers were the Corded people or some others equally dolichocephalic, while brachycephals from Asia Minor were of little importance from the racial standpoint.
		While Copper Age civilization was thus spreading westward along the Danube and the lands to the north, a countermovement in the form of the Bell Beaker invasion travelled eastward from the Rhine to the Danube, and as far as Poland and Hungary.

		Statistical analysis of these data made it possible to detect a significant difference both in the prehension mode and in the number of food prehension attempts between brachycephalic cats (Persians) and other cats.

		All kibbles were smaller than the distance between canine teeth, which is more or less identical in all adult cats, all breeds taken into account.
