      I don’t do a lot of digging myself, because I like to leave the dirty work to my friends. 😉

      However, I have looked at thousands of skulls in the lab, mainly so I can understand how the size and shape of our skulls are different between people around the world.

      For instance, people living in Europe and North America tend to have very strong jaws. This is because thousands of years ago, it was better for chewing meat with, and meat and fat on animals were very good for keeping people warm in the winter.
