Cranial anthropometry

Cranial anthropometry is the scientific measurement of the skull's shape, size, and dimensions. It involves taking precise measurements of the skull’s length, width, height, and other features to analyze facial and cranial structures. This technique is used in various fields such as medicine, archaeology, and forensic science to assess normal growth, diagnose abnormalities, or identify individuals. By systematically measuring specific points on the skull, experts can gather data on human variation, development, and evolution, aiding understanding of cranial anatomy and its clinical or research applications.
