The study of the grooves traced by the middle meningeal veins on the parietal bone or the endocast of Hominid fossils shows different patterns which correspond to each evolutive stage. Height types are characterised among the Hominids (Australopithecines, Archanthropines, Paleanthropines and Neanthropines): I, robust Australopithecine type; II, gracile Australopithecine type; III, earliest Pithecanthropine type; IV, evolved Pithecanthropine type; V, Preneandertal type; VI, neandertal type; VII, Neanthropine type; VIII, modern type.
对脑膜中静脉在顶骨或原始人类化石脑模上留下的沟痕的研究显示出不同模式，这些模式与每个进化阶段相对应。在原始人类（南方古猿、猿人、古人及新人）中存在身高类型：I，粗壮南方古猿类型；II，纤细南方古猿类型；III，最早的爪哇猿人类型；IV，进化的爪哇猿人类型；V，前尼安德特人类型；VI，尼安德特人类型；VII，新人类型；VIII，现代类型。
