The skulls of Asian humans, similar to other human populations, exhibit distinct characteristics that reflect regional variations. However, it's important to note that Asia is home to a vast array of diverse ethnic groups, each with its own unique skull features. As such, generalizations should be approached with caution and sensitivity.
In terms of common trends, Asian human skulls often display features such as a flatter facial profile, less pronounced brow ridges, and a more rounded or globular shape compared to other populations. This can give the skull a smoother appearance. Additionally, Asian skulls tend to have a narrower nasal aperture and more vertically oriented orbits (eye sockets) compared to other regions.
Intended for medical study, this specimen features a hinged jaw, a removable calvarium, and a removable brain, and stand. This specimen allows students to examine the internal osteological structure of the skull as well as the brain and its relation to the skull. The brain is cast in two separate pieces; the left and right hemispheres.
