Sources?

Not a source, but one of Stephen Baxter's novels makes reference to a character's occipital knot - which is why it's taken me so long to find this article. David 09:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not that it's a valid source, but someone on slashdot made a comment about this today. Which is what brought me here. He commented about the occipital bun and strong supra-orbital ridge; since I have both, I got curious. Zuiram 10:55, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

shit, i also got this damn strong supra-orbital ridge, but not sure about the occipital bun, can you put a picture of this?

Basques, Finns, and Sami

Why isn't the frequency of this sourced on these people? Whenever I google this trait in conjunction with them, I pretty much get text from this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.205.192.144 (talk) 01:56, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the following text till it can be cited:

They are still found fairly often among Basque, Sami and Finn individuals.^{[citation needed]} Bushmen from South Africa and Australian aborigines often have occipital buns also.^{[citation needed]}

Neanderthal

Some online sources seems to indicate that Neanderthal's had occipital buns. though the buns may be of a different type than the human variety. Please add if you find a good source. - MerryTricia (talk) 23:01, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
