Predmost Skull
Why this is kinda like, the only native australian skull ever presented? If one looks around it's not quite hard to find quite a variety of skulls that don't differ much in gracility from Europeans. And even prognathism is not like constantly noteworthy. But it seems that there's only one or two "textbook replicas" that are somewhat like taking the skull of the most robust American football player or the narrowest skull, with the longest/pointiest bony nose of a nordic and only display this not-quite-standard appearance as "the caucasoid skull".
