Bio-Behavioural Evolution of the Human Species
The E- Skeleton’s Project
The cranium is the part of the skull that contains the brain. In humans, the skull is
more massive and looks like a globe at the top. It is relatively more extensive compared to the
face. The baboon cranium is different in appearance compared to the human skull. It has a
long face structure, and the jaws are elongated. The difference between the human cranium
and baboon cranium is seen in the cranium's shape and size. Gorilla cranium is almost similar
to a baboon, except it appears to be a bit wider than that of the baboon...
