«The skull is a large one, with an estimated endocranial volume of 1800 ml. But it is hardly complete, and arguments about its overall size — exacerbated by its thickness, which confuses estimates based on regression from external measurements — have ranged from 1700 to 2000 ml. It is large, but well within the range of sizes found in recent males.» The «amazing» BoskopsReturn of the «amazing» Boskops
«The portrayal of 'Boskops' in the Discover excerpt is so out of line with anthropology of the last forty years, that I am amazed the magazine printed it. I am unaware of any credible biological anthropologist or archaeologist who would confirm their description of the 'Boskopoids,' except as an obsolete category from the history of anthropology.» He does note that the web editor at Discover replied that «the excerpt was intended to run identified as a 'controversial idea, but that context didn't come across as intended.'», and that «[t]he web page has been changed to make that context clear».
formerly called Hottentots and Bushmen: «…an isolated cranial fragment found 40 years ago near the surface in a dubious geological horizon, unassociated with implements and fauna, … there has been developed conjecture after conjecture, speculation on speculation … the features exhibited by the Boskop skull and those which have been termed 'Boskopoid' are not specific to any 'new' single, African racial group, and in Africa they may be found in varying degrees in the Bushmen, Hottentots or Bush-Hottentot admixtures.»

Tobias (1985): «Galloway (1937) […] elevated Boskop to a „fundamental human racial strain.“ However, the research of L.H. Wells (1950, 1952, 1969); Ronald Singer (1958[)…] Tobias (1959, 1961); Don Brothwell (1963[)…]
Hertha de Villiers (1963, 1968) […] and G. Philip Rightmire (1970, 1971, 1972, 1976, 1978) […]
undermined this concept and may be considered to have given the quietus to it.»
