Variations in Skull Morphology

Variations in skull morphology refer to the differences in skull shape and structure among individuals and populations. These differences can be influenced by genetic factors, environmental conditions, and evolutionary history. For example, some people have a broader face, a more prominent brow ridge, or different jaw shapes. These variations help anthropologists understand human diversity, adaptation, and ancestry. While there is a range of normal differences, these variations do not typically affect a person's health or abilities but highlight the rich diversity within human populations.
