A few years ago, I posted a very popular article about the slope-headed people/ancient giants. Since then, I've come to more personal conclusions about their origins along the lines of hybrid offspring of Neanderthal/Denisovans. But, it came to my attention after publishing the post that the university paper was removed from the online archive site. I do have a copy of it and I would encourage people to read it and come to their own conclusions. If you want to know the things I pointed out about the contents, please read THIS ARTICLE first.
I am sharing this paper because many have asked to see it and rather than send it privately to people, I thought sharing it openly as I do all other information on the blog, would be the best way to get other minds on the task, other researchers to explore, and curious intelligent folks to determine what they think of these "otamid" skull shapes that showed up around the world and in the Americas in the mound building regions and coastlines.
**I would like to thank MK Davis, one of my most trusted researching colleagues, for bringing this report to my attention.**

(Note the triangle piece of bone above - interparietal bone - here is a typical Homo sapiens skull for comparison below)

I encourage you to read my original article (LINK HERE) where I take this report and point out details. I want my intelligent readers to go on with their own search for answers and to ask some of the bigger questions, like why this paper went underground. It was archived from the university and put onto a university paper site, but then yanked off again, as if someone realized it wasn't supposed to be seen by the public.
In the event, I am forced to remove this from online, I suggest that you glean the info from it that you can, while you can....
Otamid is one of the standard skull types defined by Neumann and is an older type, often found in skulls of the Paleondian period according to Howell. Other later skull types do assort into different types more common in Adena mound builders, the Southwest, the Southeast, Eastern Woodlands, Great Plains and the Arctic. There is nothing very mysterious about this and the skull type descriptions are published in a standard reference we used to have in the public library here. I did a dissertation on the subject myself.Otamids are not a "Giant" type in particular although the skulls tend to the large side and they do have a number of archaic feature. None of which is outside of the usual range of variation seen in Homo sapiens.
