4 warning messages were generated. Warning messages may indicate that one or more of your dimensions are of unusual size. Alternatively they may point to a flaw in your measurement technique.
Results of Racial Analysis
Terminology is according to Vallois (1965).Endocranial volume is estimated according to the Lee-Pearson formula (Comas, 1960).Brain weight is estimated according to Welcker's capacity/cranial capacity tables (Baker, 1974)..
Your cephalic index is: 68.8 (hyperdolichocephalic)Your height/length index is: 31.3 (platycephalic)Your height/breadth index is: 45.5 (tapeinocephalic)Your facial index is: 115.4 (hyperleptoprosopic)Your upper facial index is: 57.7 (leptene)Your nasal index is: 55.6 (leptorrhine)Your estimated endocranial volume is: 600 cc (oligocephalic)Your estimated brain weight is: 444 gr

Your classification is Mediterranoid (using Euclidean distance), Mediterranoid (using Mahalanobis distance), and Mediterranoid (using Cosine similarity).
According to Euclidean Distance:
You are metrically closest to Plate 26, Figure 1 (distance = 50)You are metrically furthest from Plate 5, Figure 1 (distance = 195)According to Mahalanobis Distance:
You are metrically closest to Plate 21, Figure 5 (distance = 31)You are metrically furthest from Plate 5, Figure 1 (distance = 383)According to Cosine Similarity:
You are metrically closest to Plate 26, Figure 1 (similarity = 0.85)You are metrically furthest from Plate 34, Figure 2 (similarity = -0.748)
The five types listed in the results of your racial analysis represent five clusters discovered in a multivariate analysis of 152 individuals whose anthropometric measurements are given in the photographic supplement of Coon (1939). The names of the five clusters are arbitrary labels corresponding to traditional designations. They are based on metrical similarity based on nine variables of the head, and should not be interpreted as denoting "races".
