    'Anatolian bump' at the back of their skull?

    An Anatolian bump is a protuberance on the back of the skull said to be related to East and Central Asian ancestry, especially Turkic tribes. it is an unusually large external occipital protuberance.

    I do. I also have some weird shit going on at the top of my head, like close to the top left spot in the green section. Best way to describe it, if you shaved my head, it'd look like how most dogs have on the top of their skull.

    Oh, and clicking your link takes me to a page that was deleted in Oct. of 09..

    Ah. Sorry. Inion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    To the person who does not have an EOP or anatolian bump - Are you of asian descent?

    I've got a bump like that on the back of my head. I'm pretty certain I have no Asian ancestry though but who knows.

    Yep I got it.

    When I first noticed it a while back it freaked me out and I googled that shit real quick.

    I have a small bump/ridge on the back of my head but it's only like an inch down from the middle of my scalp and would only be sorta visible if I was totally bald.

    I do and my mom has what I call a "handle head." LOL

    I want to do a genealogy map as far back as I can.

    I don't but I do have a dent in the left side of my head from when the doctor used forceps when I was born. Or maybe from when my mom dropped me on the corner of the coffee table when I was a baby.

    It's usually located right in the middle on the backside of the skull.

    This isn't me, just thought I'd throw a picture in to help people identify if they have one or not.

    I don't think it has anything to do with race, seeing how I'm neither of those nationalities, yet, I have one.

    I wonder why some people have it and some people don't. hmmm.
