Dolichocephaly

Dolichocephaly (dolichocephaly) is a term used to describe people with an elongated skull shape. This may be due to genetic factors or environmental influences on brain development.

Dolichocephaly can have various manifestations, such as a high forehead, long and narrow eyes, a narrow chin, small ears and long fingers. People with dolichocephaly may have higher intelligence and better memory than people with other skull types.

However, dolichocephaly can also cause health problems such as increased pressure inside the skull, headaches and visual disturbances. Additionally, dolichocephaly may be associated with certain mental disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Overall, dolichocephaly is a normal physiological condition that can have both positive and negative consequences. However, if a person experiences health problems or mental disorders associated with dolichocephaly, they should see a doctor for advice and treatment.

What is the meaning of human life? Everyone has their own: for some it is happiness, family and other values, while others prefer to be single. Unfortunately, the most that a modern person can want is just to survive. This is reflected even in the course of evolution: today, short species of monkeys with narrow shoulders and sloping shoulder joints, more adapted to sitting in trees than to running on two legs, like their Australopithecus ancestors, are widespread throughout the world. Poverty and the rush for ideals and money took their toll. It was completely unclear who would win: Homo sapens (reasonable man) or Homo vidanus (prone to violence).

For those who have read J. C. Darwin's The Evolution of Man, the terms "brain size" and "crane size" must have evoked unpleasant associations. They also appeared to the creator of the theory of natural selection, after which he made an attempt to substantiate the difference in these indicators by a simple physiological difference between animals of a low and high level. According to Darwin, the volume of the brain is proportional to the size of the skull and vice versa. But these primitive approaches to human genotype and phenotype, called taxonomy, are absolutely unacceptable. The explanation of the term dolichocephaly, “long-headedness,” by a simple size ratio says more about our misunderstanding of the factor of heredity and environmental conditions.

If the amount of genetic information per unit volume of the brain generally decreases as it grows, then the environment has a decisive influence on the final result. Each growth step occurs under lesser conditions (nucleation, neuronal development, retinal ganglion cell differentiation, and nervous system connections), and each cell is likely to undergo more aggressive mutation. The human brain has a volume of 1328 cubic centimeters - this is the result of many generations,
