Boskop is, at best, an example of a statistical outlier being blown out of proportion. The vast majority of skulls from that region and that era are of equal size to contemporary skulls found elsewhere on the planet from that period.

Sure, it's on a "blog". But, it is a blog backed by Discovery. Frankly, it lends credence to a widely discredit theory without even bothering to engage in due diligence. In fact, it uses the higher-end reported skull sizes to compile an "average" brain volume.

Lazy for Discovery. Lazy for Slashdot.
