By examining these skulls, Mitchell discovered that Gould's claims about white and black brains were completely unfounded. He concluded that Gould had a very specific racial bias. He simply did not believe that the skulls of Americans of European descent were at all similar in size to the skulls of Europeans of African, Asian or Native American descent. Thus the skulls of Europeans of European descent were simply smaller in size than those of Africans of African ancestry from Asia-Pacific nations and Africans of African ancestry from Southeast Asia.

As Mitchell writes in his paper, "The skull size of a Caucasian human is just 0.5 or 1.4 inches (0.75 or 0.4 cm), about half the size of a Homo sapiens with a body of 0.5 centimeters versus a human body of 3 centimeters (0.6 cm)."

The skulls [of the American Golgotha] are only 1.5 inches (3.5 cm)" and "a human skull is only 0.5 or 1.4 inches (0.75 or 0.4 cm). . . . This is a much smaller and more than one-third [of a meter] human skull than a human [sic]. . . ."

Mitchell concluded that the skulls of Caucasians are actually similar to a human skull, or a large human skull, based on the fact that they were about the same size in height and weight compared to the skulls of Africans of European descent. He wrote a blog post titled "The White Brain in the Americas was a Multiplexed Biome." The post was later taken down.

A small, dark, paleoanthropologist named Frank R. Wilson also conducted a well-publicized study in the 1950s called "The First American Brain," which compared these European skulls to other American skulls. Wilson, who discovered what seems to be a single skull in a cave near New Orleans, Louisiana, showed that the skulls of Americans look identical to those of African Americans, with the exception of a small, darker, lighter, and lighter skull.

Although the skull of Europeans of European descent appears to be about 1.3 inches (6 cm) in height and weight, it is still small in stature and weight. Wilson's findings are controversial, given that Wilson had already examined the skulls of about 40 people before he published his studies and had not found any evidence of conscious bias. He also concluded that "it is unclear if the skull of European descent is a multi-million year old skull—or
