It will be seen from the above that the population at Harappa, Mohenjo-daro and LOTHAL possessed broad noses, though the noses of the Mohenjo-daro people were less broad then those of the other two. The population of LOTHAL had, in comparison to those of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, broad heads. The population at each site was homogeneous with respect to at least the head and nose shapes and stature, indicating thereby that the population at the site belonged to a single biological group, not recognizable into several races with distinctive characteristics. The Indus population was tall, long-headed and broad-nosed in the n.-w. region but had somewhat rounder heads in Gujarat.
