.... they had to marry outside their gene group at some point or risk becoming Hapsburg-like retards.
You're confusing incest with inbreeding and outbreeding. This tends to be a well worn and repeated canard. Prevalent genetic diseases are primarily introduced by outbreeding followed by intense inbreeding. This only concentrates the spread of genetic disease within a closed small community. The vast number of genetic diseases extant here does not exist within any other group in the world. So, this impairs your statement and also stating -- "Cranial size doesn't matter as much as DNA similarities." DNA is not often available and is precisely the reason archeaologists today use cranial shape and size for determining race. Living within a very closed community as a result of religious votary and racial identity provides limited outbreeding followed by intense inbreeding. This would certainly maintain racial characteristics of the group. This has all been repeatedly confirmed. Brachycephaly simply does not equate to doliocephaly. The characteristics are immutable.

Archaeologists are usually measuring an age of a skull from thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago in tribes that were very much isolated. It is also a very inaccurate method in more recent times when you consider the interconnected population of Europe, North Africa, and Asia in the last 2000-3000 years.
We are talking about a people that have had to move around Europe and the world countless times in the last 2000+ years when Europe has become exponentially more interconnected compared to the previous 100000+ years of humanity.
While they may have resisted adopting that territory's culture, they have been forced many many times by the rulers of those territories/countries in which they lived in to follow certain laws, live only in certain areas, and yes even marry outside their population. They've also been encouraged to renounce Judaism for Christianity to get more acceptance in the society and there are likely countless cases of people renouncing their Jewish faith and a few generations of marrying outside Judaism. Then their kin convert back to Judaism with less of the original Jewish blood and genes in them.
You gotta think of the history here, rulers wised up pretty fast of this Jewish people living on the their land but not adopting the culture, laws, eating habits, and even refusing to marry outside their religion. Because of this, historically Jewish areas were like their own little country and people living in these countries developed a negative attitude towards the Jewish people.
Very often, these rulers saw this threat to their territory and broke up the Jewish population in countless ways, forcing them to adhere to the culture, follow that territory's laws and customs, and even marry outside their population. If the Jewish people didn't comply, they were kicked out and had to find a new home.
Furthermore, every time they converted new people to their religion they were allowed to marry these new people and often did. This is a way for them to stick with their Torah rules while also not fucking up their genes.
The original Jewish population has intermingled with the population at large over the last 2000+ years and their genes are spread everywhere. They can have a direct descendancy of Ancient Jews but have very different cranial sizes than their ancestors. This should be pretty obvious...

Seen in long-headed alien skulls.
Possibly pharaohs.
And Jacob Rothschild.
No. this term refers to northern European and Negroid cranial shapes. You need to research this more.
