Cranial capacity
Cranial capacity refers to the volume of the interior space of the skull, which houses the brain. It is usually measured in cubic centimeters (cc) and can be an indicator of brain size. Larger cranial capacities often correlate with greater cognitive abilities, but this isn't a strict rule, as brain efficiency and structure also play significant roles. Researchers study cranial capacity in various fields, including anthropology, to understand the evolution and development of human species and their brain functions over time.
