Some people are short with hardly no stomach area, their ribs go down low. We only seem to get access to what is considered normal shapes of people. I'm sure that not many people have seen a skeleton of a midget other than a bone specialist or forensics expert..

Some articles say that the suture line of the plates of the skull are different in these skulls. The skulls of the people trying to elongate the skulls have the same suture lines as normal. You can't change the suture pattern by reshaping the skull to a conehead.

I remember it cromagnum, like a 357 magnum. Sometimes I forget to change it's spelling The skull of a Cro-magnon/neanderthal is sloped back at the top from the eye brows. I have a couple of friends with skull shapes that way. They are enthused by fighting. It's like something in their brain structure is different. Some people have flat faces and squarer chins, these people seem to think different than those with pointy chins and more triangular shaped noggins. This doesn't seem to be an intelligence sort of thing but a perception thing. There are some different looking head designs on people in the states of the old Soviet Union. Some of the shapes seem strange to me but are probably normal in their areas. I've never talked to one of these people to know if their thinking is different but then again it's a whole different culture and language so I wouldn't be able to tell I suppose.
The amount of skull above the eye sockets is larger than most humans. I recognize it because the area above my eyes is bigger than the area below my eyes also. I don't have a cone head though and I am sure that my sutures are in the right place There are a lot of different skull shapes in people and I think that the variance does correlate to perception somehow.

That's a good point.
I am going to go find me a dwarf skeleton for comparison purposes.
Thanks for the good idea.

Dwarves do have the same length torso's as average humans, it's their extremities that are shorter, thats a fact you might want to remember when delving in to your research.

I gave one of the sources, look back at the post.
There are several other sources as well that are linked to it but I thought wikipedia would be the easiest for most folks to follow. There are severa sources from the science academies and several universities that can be googled pretty easily too
