Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea that head shape, specifically hyperbrachycephaly, can be significantly influenced by cultural conditioning. The author, an anthropologist, designed an experiment involving Lebanese Maronites to test this hypothesis. The results of the experiment, along with data gathered from other populations around the world, suggest that hyperbrachycephaly in infancy can be induced through the use of cradling boards. The author provides a detailed description of the cradling practices of the Maronites, and discusses the possible effects of these practices on the shape of the head. The book also explores the historical and cultural context of the Maronites, and examines the role of religious and ethnic factors in shaping their unique physical characteristics. This book offers a fascinating insight into the complex relationship between culture and biology, and sheds new light on the origins of human physical diversity.
