Elongated Skulls: Ancient Species, very distant from human?

While looking for something else today, I stumbled on this site:

It's sort of woo-woo, but has great images!!!!

Indeed ! And this reconstitution things are great, it helps a lot to put it in perspective, at least for me.
That is crazy!!
How the heck did they hold their heads up???
Maybe it's just me, but some of these skulls look disproportionate and unhealthy to me. Not in the sense that I got used to a different shape of human skull, but in the sense that these skulls look disproportional in general, as compared to any other animal or creature. Some of these skulls almost look like there is some kind of tumor or hydranencephaly or some other defect in them.
Go to the website I linked and just look at the darn things. Weird. How the heck did such individuals get born with heads like that?

Interesting that quite a few of them seem to have died violent deaths.If they were akin to a race of people,then there appears to have been an effort to genocide them.Either that effort was successful or the cataclysms got them.Another possibility was brought up in this thread is that they couldn't interbreed,which would make it much harder to bounce back from depopulation.
Well, that should stay in that thread; I'm trying to deal with some serious data here and that skull doesn't look very convincing.
This anatomy does seem like it was suited to a lower gravity environment, unless they had really thick vertebrae or something, but I didn't see anything about that on the site. The Cassipaeans did say something about gravity being lower in the past, but I can't imagine it being THAT much different. I wonder if it has something to do with the Nephilim "leftovers" that were mentioned in this session, with the cranial thing being one of the major reasons why they, or even dilute hybrids of them, were nonviable in an Earth environment long-term.

One can see the cranial sutures in several of the skulls. I would speculate that the front fontanel was perhaps much larger than in humans at birth and afterwards, allowing for the expansion of the skull as the brain grows.
Maybe the skull grew sort of line an antena, kind of like not being overburdened by gravitational forces? I can't imagine any skull that big going through a birth canal, unless the woman had one heck of a birth canal.
Anyway, it is weird!!
Good question! They certainly couldn't run or fight too effectively with heads like that, at least not in England.
My initial thought was that it might have been an instance of group selection when certain features (longer/larger skulls) were considered more attractive and therefore those features were more likely to have been passed on to future generations. But that just doesn't seem likely to have happened to THAT extent and in so many different places in the world.
Well, unless the ideal was the Grey alien with its big head.
The article Laura linked mentions dietary impact on the skulls so maybe they were in fact born with relatively 'normal' heads? Only the skulls attracted attention so I'm guessing the rest of the body, including women's pelvis, must have looked the same as in 'round heads'.
A "diet high in meat" doesn't seem to be a linkey explanation: otherwise everyone would have long skulls before humans started to farm and eat grains. Unless in those with predisposition to long skulls certain diets triggered further growth?
Some photos of Agent Orange victims do have larger skulls and Zika virus causes skulls to under-develop so maybe the skulls were a result of some sort of an environmentally triggered defect?
I'm also curious about their overall level of intellect when compared with 'round heads' but that's not something that can be assessed by examining the skeleton structure.
The long heads of Europe were no way at all like the Ica skull people. The term for the Long Barrow people was "dolichocephalic". Apparently, they came by sea to various places in Europe/England, and were the bearers of the Megalithic culture. No one knows where they came from though there were other dolichocephalic groups here and there. Carleton Coon - a serious brachycephalic - thought they were somehow "nordic" wherever they were, or leading to being nordic, whatever that was supposed to mean. He does some great head descriptions but doesn't seem to have a clue as to how to sort out who came from where.

scroll down a little and there's a diagram of how this is measured.
The Ica skulls fall so far outside of this kind of measurement that it's hard to even talk about them in these terms!!!

It depens how much kilos extra those heads had, but in many cultures women wore/ ware many things on their heads like pitchers of water etc without a problem. Such a big head demanded very straight posture which looked fancy and powerful and they had to walk on heels not toes. From the pictures I see they don't have wisdom teeth, could be because not enough space in mouth or because of diet. I was checking that fact https://www.drchrisamott.com/weird-facts-why-do-some-people-have-no-wisdom-teeth/
The oldest fossil to be found missing the third molar comes from China and is about 300,000 years old, suggesting the date of the first mutation. Humans, like other mammals, originally had four sets of three molars for a total of 12 teeth to help in chewing food. According to Mann, when humans underwent an evolution that resulted in a significant brain expansion, there was an architectural problem; the jaw had to become narrower to be able to connect to the lower end of the skull.
During this period, and even after, the genes controlling brain size developed differently from those controlling dental quantity. Narrower jaws left little room for the wisdom teeth to erupt from the jaw, leading to a mismatch.
...
One reason for this disparity is that this group had its origins in Asia, which is where this mutation began. And, like Asians, the Inuits have flatter faces and, hence, narrower jaws, making it even harder for the wisdom teeth to grow.''
So this is from that article but I think it's diet that triggered the changes.
''According to Alan Mann, a Princeton University researcher, a random mutation took place thousands of years ago resulting in the suppression of wisdom teeth formation. This trait has spread and is the cause in certain people and groups of the total or partial lack of wisdom teeth.

About 10 to 25 percent of Americans who descended from European ancestry miss at least one third molar in their dentistry; however, 45 percent of the Inuit who live in the Arctic regions of Alaska, Greenland and Canada lack at least one of their third molars.
