[7][8]In a morphometric analysis including Predmost3 (with five differing hominid skull finds) of variables in cranium dimensions [cranio-facial traits] compared to Homo sapiens sapiens Predmost three was found to correlate to a 73% similarity.(Lubson,Corruccini)[9]

“ Upper Paleolithic skulls are at least as flat-faced as modern ones, except for Predmosti 3 [10] ”

Belongs to a morphological Upper Paleolithic group that is including Grotte de Enfants 4, Barma Grande 5 and Pavlov and Sunghir 1.[11]
