This tendency was eventually traced back to the discovery of a cranial abnormality that caused pressure on certain glands -- the result leading to heavy facial hair. The discovery was made through anthropologists' examination of female skulls buried for centuries under volcanic ash following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Anthropologists were able to link the skull abnormality to facial hair by finding corresponding patterns among women whose families had lived in the area surrounding Mount Vesuvius for centuries. |

Dear Tony Ji,
Thanks -I actually visited Pompeii in 1974 and know a little bit of its history and still some of the pictures lying somewhere even though it was later again covered by volcanic eruptions.
