Selective brain cooling seems to be a mechanism leading to human craniofacial diversity observed in different geographical regions.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Jan 2004

Irmak M K, Korkmaz A, Erogul O

Abstract excerpt

Selective brain cooling (SBC) can occur in hyperthermic humans despite the fact that humans have no carotid rete, a vascular structure that facilitates countercurrent heat exchange located at the base of the skull in some mammals. Emissary and angular veins, upper respiratory tract, tympanic cavity and cerebrospinal fluid are major components of SBC system in humans. The efficiency of SBC is increased by...
