Skulls
with moderately protrusive teeth, extending beyond the chin (mesognathous)
and a rounded (mesocephalic) cranium match types of colonists who entered
Spain and Portugal at the close of the Neolithicperiod. They may also have entered North America
by way of the Bering Strait, using water-borne transportation. People with
skulls like this (from Holliston Mills, Tennessee) might have constituted the
Algonquian population at the time when Woden-lithi and his compatriots
visited Canada (Fell 1982). ( Photo Walter Eitel.) |
