English anthropologists from the University of Birmingham measured 30 skulls of men and women - victims of the London Plague of 1348 - 1349 and 50 skulls of victims of the shipwreck of the English warship "Mary Rose", which sank in 1545 off Plymouth.

The old skulls were compared with modern x-rays of 31 adults of both sexes. It turned out that the height of the cranial vault of a modern person exceeds both old groups by about 15 percent. The facial part has become less dominant over the frontal, and the part of the skull that protects the frontal lobes, the main part of the brain associated with the mind, has increased.
