From the article:

> Only fossils younger than 35,000 years show the same globular shape as present-day humans

and

> They used state-of-art statistics to analyze endocasts of various fossils and present-day humans.

There's nothing uncomfortable about this. They analyzed modern day humans and compared it to humans 35k years ago and found a statistical difference. "Uncomfortable" thoughts fall into the category of pseudoscience which has been long discredited - phrenology, essentially.
