Craniometric Analysis

Craniometric analysis is the measurement of the skull's shape and size to study human and animal skulls. By taking precise measurements of features like the skull's length, width, and height, scientists can assess differences among populations, understand evolutionary changes, or identify individuals. This technique is useful in anthropology, archaeology, forensic science, and medicine to analyze skull morphology, track biological diversity, and aid in identification processes. Essentially, it involves collecting detailed data from the skull to make informed comparisons and conclusions about biological and evolutionary questions.
