Oh, just like they did in Nazi Germany back then, measuring skulls to find inferior people. They called it "Rassenhygiene" back then. It is amazing to see how many Nazi Germany ideas they unearth and recycle in the US nowadays.

So I suppose it is settled, the new freedom pope has a feminine penis
Transphobic sex-purists think the perfect male/female bodies are built like Disney characters
but what about the Green M&M?
That's their research material
Those two skull outlines just look like they were photographed with a different focal length or something. There is no way skull morphology is this strongly affected by sex.
Yeah... Like there'd be a bit more credence if the guy was going after the pelvis but... You'd have to either xray or extract the pelvis for that.
I'm not catholic, but I'm pretty sure they would object to extracting the popes pelvis.
If you're young enough though then they may let you touch it.
Aw man, really? Damn... Now I gotta find something else to do this evening...
Even then there's so much overlap in human dimorphism that it's not an exact science, there's still like a 5-10% error rate in sexing perfectly preserved pelvic bones. Accurate enough for anthropology, but that's a big error rate to apply to individuals.
that's my favorite fact for the "YoUr SkEleToN iS mAle!!1!" crowd. Also I'd be dead then, I won't a shit if some teenagers put my skull in a bowling ball, much less being actually used for archeological research that benefits humanity lol
At school we had a thing where if your ring finger was longer than your index finger then it meant you were a bummer. Never mind the fact that you can change that with slight angling of the hand.
This is what those kids are doing now.
I love their little diagrams showing us just how fucking wrong they are.
"That's a female skull! (As long as you ignore 40% of the bone mass)"
literally just the skulls of disney characters
We need a cultural revolution because who the fuck in their American minds decided this?
Just made me think about phrenology.

THE UNPROMISING RACE PUPIL RETURNS
Stupidest science ever. How do you even read bullshit like this? Maybe I should probe for a bulge where “criticism” is.
I misread foresight as foreskin lmao 😂
it's real, you can confirm it by denting their skull in the area associated with "reasoning, causality, planning" and observe them fall insensate to the ground
*only works on phrenologists
"The influence of the "ham sandwich" race is waning "
That's right! The skull goes in the square hole
After the advent of DNA testing, many anthropologists and archeologists were embarrassed because skeletal remains were missexed.
Even my A&P textbook had this garbage in it. It claimed racial difference in the skull and sex difference in the Hip bones. But it's bullshit. The most reliable way to sex a skeleton is with DNA.
'The Mismeasure of Man' by Gould is a fascinating history of bio-determinism and psudoscientific attempt to measure it.
The most reliable way to sex a skeleton is to be interested in what they're interested in, and not say stuff like "ay, babey, you'd looked better with more meat on those bones!" Otherwise, just ride the vibe and see where the mood takes you.
Archaeologist here, maybe it's just new wave training but widely taught that it's not an easy task to sex skeletons on morphology alone.
Sure some features appear more commonly amongst men and some more commonly amongst women, but there is considerable overlap.
Pelvis are generally identifiable, but the bio-archaeologists I know prefer to say the skeleton displays female characteristics without providing a definitive biological sex. They have to have some great evidence before claiming for certain.
Also fun fact, you can't measure this morphology when there's still skin and muscle fucking attached.
The show Bones had a lot of weirdness, but I did appreciate that they consistently (at least the first few seasons when I was watching) stripped the bones down and even had a bug guy on staff to do it efficiently.
many anthropologists and archeologists were embarrassed because skeletal remains were missexed.
I mean I get it. Impossible to tell without skeletal boobs.

Wow. True Nazi science. And all in a day like May 9th 2025.
Guess what... The media is not even covering this!!!
