[edit] Article organisation

68.164.82.165 made the point that there is a disproportionate amount of information on brachycephalic dogs. This article needs cleaning up. --apers0n 07:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Cephalic index is of interest in two separate fields: human anatomy/anthropology, and veterinary anatomy/zoology (particularly with relation to the evolution of domestic animals, known as anthrozoology). The whole topic seems to be spread between this page and the one entitled Craniometry which is limited to the human topic. I would split the whole subject into Cephalic Index for the human anatomists and Cephalic Index - Domestic Animals for the rest. We could also use a new article on anthrozoology in general.

My apologies, I see there is such a page - the beginnings of one at least. Autangelist 03:41, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] what happened?

cephalic index just for animals ? what happened cephalic index of human races ?

Proposed creation of a new page: Cephalic index (non-human) --apers0n 12:41, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Howabout a someone less awkward name, like Cephalic index in animals? (I know that humans are animals, of course, but I think most people will understand the distinction.) --Fastfission 20:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment: To reduce ambiguity and following the precedent of articles such as: Pneumonia (non-human), Cerebellar hypoplasia (non-human) and Non-human fatherhood, although if the only animals that are included are cats and dogs, it could be Cephalic index in cats and dogs ? --apers0n 22:53, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
