Can you please post some Indian skulls? The ones I’ve seen so far are like some sort of highly-variated human average, but overall resembling more African Negroids and Australoid types. Unfortunately Google images won’t conveniently sort “Indian” from “Native-American”.

Sorry but I HATE skulls. Every time I see a skull, I have to put my hand over the image on the page or screen or if it is TV or movie, I have to look away until the skull goes away. I have a terrible phobia of any human skulls, and I just cannot look at them at all. I do not even like Halloween too much because of all the damn skulls.

However, what I do know about Indian skulls is that one thing they definitely are not is African. I have read a study that put Tamil skulls in with Senoi, Negritos, Papuans, and other Australoids. That sounds about right. Many other Indian skulls, especially as one goes north, look quite Caucasoid. As my Mother says when I tell her than Indians are Caucasians, “Yes! They look like White people with a tan!”
