Cro-Magnon skeletons show dolichocranial skulls, tall stature, and robust limbs. DNA percentages ignore regulatory changes producing major anatomical differences. WHG genetic label wrongly implies uniform modern body type. Modern human terminology hides Cro-Magnon morphological distinctness. Bones and tools reveal high power outputs and big-hand grips unfit for modern physiques. Cranial index under 75 marks long-skulled Cro-Magnon lineage. Power axes like Ehenside Tarn require Cro-Magnon robusticity to wield. DNA excels at kinship and timing but fails phenotype prediction. Radiocarbon dates and DNA chronologies rely on thin, provisional data. Cro-Magnon R1b carriers built megaliths with specialized physiques. Labels launder evidence instead of resetting vocabulary. Phenotype passports must pair with genomes for accurate descriptions. Antler pick myth downplays Neolithic engineering feats. Coastal dolichocrany clusters match heavy-tool monuments. Bones and tools override DNA for physical capability estimates.
