In Modern Humans

Forensic anthropologist Caroline Wilkenson said that Australoids have the largest brow ridges "with moderate to large supraorbital arches", Caucasoids have the second largest brow ridges with "moderate supraorbital ridges", Negroids have the third largest brow ridges with an "undulating supraorbital ridge" and Mongoloids are "absent browridges". Anthropologist Ashley Montagu said Mongoloids are "absent browridges" and he said "such ridges are absent in the skulls of both sexes in Mongoloid peoples." Dr. Marta Mirazon Lahr of the Department of Biological Anthropology at Cambridge University said the "Paleoindian" has "proto-Mongoloid" "morphology" such as "pronounced development of supraorbital ridges" Anthropologist Arnold Henry Savage Landor described the Ainu as having deep-set eyes and a large and prominent browridge.
