Re: knots and bumps and differences, oh my!

Re: knots and bumps and differences, oh my!: "''You are mixing up two different things Joanne. No, the knot is not an external occipital protruberance......

........The KNOT being talked about is ONE thing the 'proturberance' is another.''

OK Nancy do you mean there is a knot AND a porturberance besides a ridge because Kennedy clearly calls it 'enhanced external occipital protuberance '
YES, YES, YES - there are TWO things, NOT 3 and no he doesn't!

Joanne take a look at this quote again:
''We talked about epicanthal eyefolds, Asian shovel teeth, and an enhanced external occipital protuberance that provides visible evidence of Asian and central Asian heritage''

DOES KENNEDY EXPLAIN what he means here? No, he doesn't; he simply mentions a name. He goes into no details about this proturberance.

YES, Joanne, there are TWO things 'markers'. AND no clearly Brent Kennedy does NOT call the bump, the 'protuberance.' Chris Offut did that!


ONE thing is the enhanced external occipital protuberance otherwise known as a Central Asian Cranial Ridge and TWO is the 'knot/bump' otherwise known as the Anatolian bump!

Quoting Kennedy;

''We talked about epicanthal eyefolds, Asian shovel teeth, and an enhanced external occipital protuberance that provides visible evidence of Asian and central Asian heritage''

As I said the OTHER name for this protuberance is the Central Asian Cranial Ridge. And nothing in this that I could find did Brent mention the 'bump'.

You noted:
'Dr Kennedy's 'evidence' is the disease that he contracted, sarcoid.'"
