Question

What is the shape of the chin area? Does it recede? Is it vertical? Does it protrude? Size of the braincase? Smaller or larger? Relative to the face. Much or little postorbital constriction? What is the position of the foramen magnum? Center, more toward posterior of the skull? Location of the maximum skull breadth? Is prognathism present? Cranial Index Comparison of the species can also be conducted by looking at the cranial index. The cranial index is calculated using the following formula. Cranial breadth / cranial length x 100 = cranial index. Neanderthal Cranial breadth- 155 mm Cranial length- 208 mm Early Anatomically Modern Human Cranial breadth – 165 mm Cranial length – 145 mm Modern Human Cranial breadth- 188 mm Cranial length – 142 mm

Cranial Index
Comparison of the species can also be conducted by looking at the cranial index. The cranial
index is calculated using the following formula.
Cranial breadth / cranial length x 100 = cranial index.
