Biology Asked by MaxB on September 22, 2020
I’ve read that the occipital bun is an anatomical feature of the Neanderthals,
and only because modern humans (except sub-Saharan Africans) carry a few percent of Neanderthal DNA due to interbreeding, it also occurs in them, although “rarely”.
20 physical traits you may have inherited from a Neanderthal
How rare is it, numerically?
How is the occipital bun defined, precisely? (All 3D objects will have the rearmost point)
Does Ryan Gosling have it?
Is the occipital bun a matter of degree (big vs barely there), or is it binary: either you have it, or you don’t?
I know that Sub-Saharan Africans do not have it, because they did not inherit Neanderthal DNA. Then how are their rear skull protrusions different, anatomically?
In other words, I could not find a clear definition of this anatomical feature, and the one given on Wikipedia seems overly broad.
