Default Re: Definition of Europe

Some of figurines are steatopygic which indeed isn't a European and certainly not Caucasoid trait. Generally, I belive that these figurines are either of middle eastern or of Neanderthal origin.
These figurines are not mere statues but fertility symbols. I don't think the purpose was to represent the traits of a female body accurately. Obviously the shapes are exaggerated.
