	Features of Human Cranium - Atlas of Human Skull Bones and Facial Bones
		The human cranium and the facial bones are the foundation for the soft tissues of the face and head.
		The human skull also includes 14 facial bones that form the lower front of the skull and provide the framework for most of the face that is important to psychological research.
		The reconstruction of this skull revealed a facial appearance that indicates he is a descendant of a more ancient migration from Asia than that which brought the ancestors of the Indians (Amerinds), who settled widely in the Americas before the arrival of Europeans.

	Human skull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Except for the mandible, all of the bones of the skull are joined together by sutures, semi-rigid articulations formed by bony ossification, the presence of Sharpey's fibres permitting a little flexibility.
		In humans, the anatomical position for the skull is the Frankfurt plane, where the lower margins of the orbits and the upper borders of the ear canals are all in a horizontal plane, or anatomical position.
		The skull is a complex structure; its bones are formed both by intramembranous and endochondral ossification.

	Skull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The skull or cranium is a bony structure found in many animals which serves as the general framework for the head.
		The exact functions of the sinuses are unclear; they may contribute to lessening the weight of the skull with a minimal reduction in strength, or they may be important in improving the resonance of the voice.
		In humans, the anatomical position for the skull is the Frankfurt plane, where the lower margins of the orbits and the upper borders of the ear canals are all in a horizontal plane.

	The Human Skull
		Furthermore, the bones of the skull are classified as those which are called cranial Bones, or contribute to that portion surrounding the brain, or facial bones (i.e., those which do not assist in forming the braincase).
		The skull is one of the principle groups of bones in the human anatomy.
		The bones of the skull, with the exception of the mandible, are held together by very thin sutures, or seams, in which the periosteum of the individual bones interweave with each other, and are cemented by a fibrous, connective tissue.

	The Nature Institute - Genes and Life: The Need for Qualitative Understanding
		Skulls of the white-tailed deer, mountain lion, and human being.
		In contrast to the deer or mountain lion, in the human being the femur—the body-near, proximal part of the leg—is the longest bone in the leg (and in the whole body) while the feet and toes are short; the heel rests on the ground.
		The secret—the "cause"—of humanness or chimpness is not to be discovered in our genes, although some day it may be possible to discover how genes themselves relate to the integral nature of a being.

		This is indicative of the method to be used for dividing other bones or joints, in that the meat should generally be cut through first with a knife, and the exposed bone then separated with a saw or cleaver.

		Furthermore, the bones of the skull are classified as those which are called Cranial Bones, or contribute to that portion surrounding the brain, or Facial Bones(i.e., those which do not assist in forming the braincase).
		Each of the bones of the cranium posses a number of distinctive features which not only allow the bone to be identified, but also permit its exact location and orientation in the body to be determined (i.e., as a left or right, medial- lateral, posterior-anterior, inferior-superior, etc.).
		Moreover, because the Skull Module© is seen as only an introductory attempt to assist students of human cranial skeletal anatomy, the elements of the inner ear (i.e., the Malleus, Incus, and Stapes), as well as the individual teeth are not addressed.

		The Homo erectus skull was found this month in Dmanisi, an area about 60 miles (100 kilometers) southeast of the capital, Tbilisi, said Georgian National Museum director David Lortkipanidze, who took part in the dig.
		A well-preserved skull from the Dmanisi site would be "very important" in helping to track the development and migration of human ancestors, said Brian Richmond, a professor at the Center for the Advanced Study of Hominid Paleobiology at George Washington University in Washington.
		Study of the skull could help scientists understand "what it is about these individuals that allowed them to move outside of Africa" — how their bodies and their use of tools advanced to enable them to move more freely, Richmond said.
