That's the feel of paternal science dictating a false reality. It has a very specific quality and.., smell.
You can see the effect when your knowledgeable friend casually notes that, "It's amazing. Turns out that there were people long ago who were actually breaking their own skulls in order to stretch their heads. It was some kind of weird fashion thing."
How neatly this discounts all the odd skulls found in digs. (Including those deliberately destroyed upon discovery.) Stops the questioning process with an easy, "Discovery Channel" TV answer nobody needs to look beyond. --School didn't teach so much as it trained us all to instinctively accept the word of people who look and sound like teachers when they appear on TV. Our love and obedience won one smelly sticker at a time.
But I wonder. . .
Humans modify their bodies in order to emulate some desired form they see in the world around them as being beneficial. Chinese foot binding to emulate child-like feet. Adults shave to emulate youthful skin qualities. Sharpened teeth to emulate powerful wild animals. But no matter how bizarre the reasoning for wanting to emulate a quality, there were templates people looked at to model their changes on.
But. . , stretched heads? What on Earth was the template for that quality? And why? What about a stretched head would be so desired that people would mutilate their babies in order to emulate it? I can only think that parents did this to their kids in order to gain for them some sort of social advantage. What did the ruling class look like, and where did they come from?
I'm sure Proffessor Brown is a fine gent who really tries to be a good scholar. But he doesn't seem to be asking the right questions.
