HUMAN SKULL
Homo sapiens
Specimen No. 370
ABOUT THIS SPECIMEN
This adult human skull demonstrates the characteristic features of modern human cranial anatomy. The specimen exhibits well-preserved bone structure and complete dentition, making it an excellent example for studying human osteology.
ESTIMATED DEMOGRAPHICS:
- Sex: Male (probable)
- Age at Death: Adult (middle-aged or older)
- Species: Homo sapiens (modern human)
WHAT TO OBSERVE
Cranial Features:
- Prominent brow ridges above the eye sockets
- Robust jaw structure with complete tooth row
- Fused cranial sutures indicating skeletal maturity
Educational Significance: This specimen illustrates the sexual dimorphism present in human skulls, where male individuals typically display more robust features including larger brow ridges, more pronounced muscle attachment sites, and heavier overall bone structure.
FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY
Skulls like this one are studied by forensic anthropologists and bioarchaeologists to determine age, sex, ancestry, and health status of past populations. Such analysis contributes to our understanding of human variation, migration patterns, and historical living conditions.
Please observe respectfully. This specimen represents a real human individual and is used here for educational purposes to advance scientific understanding.
