Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shorter, rounder heads and narrower faces among children in rural Oaxaca after the 1960s are likely related to consuming softer, more processed corn and other foods. This change in diet happened as more families moved away from traditional methods of preparing corn and towards industrialized methods, which can result in nutrient loss and a less nutritious diet overall. This change in diet is thought to be the cause of the observed physical changes in the children. There is no evidence to suggest that these physical changes are related to increased intelligence or higher amounts of protein in the diet.
