A human skull and measurement device from 1902. Craniometry is measurement of the cranium (the main part of the skull), usually the human cranium.It is a subset of cephalometry, measurement of the head, which in humans is a subset of anthropometry, measurement of the human body.
The skull displays many of the "classic" examples of Neanderthal anatomy, including a low, sloping forehead and large nasal openings.The teeth are well preserved and the incisors are heavily worn down, suggesting they were used to hold objects. His leg and foot bones make it clear that Neanderthals walked upright like modern humans.
Low anterior hairline is a dysmorphic feature in which the frontal hairline which defines the top and sides of the forehead is unusually low. This can mean that either the distance between the trichion (hairline) and glabella at the midline is more than 2 SD below the mean, or that this distance is apparently (subjectively) decreased.

A low and little forehead denoted magnanimity, boldness, and confidence; a fleshy and wrinkle-free forehead, litigiousness, vanity, deceit, and contentiousness; a sharp forehead, weakness and fickleness; a wrinkled forehead, great spirit and wit yet poor fortune; a round forehead, virtue and good understanding; a full large forehead, boldness ...
The Neanderthal chin and forehead sloped backwards and the nose region protruded forward more than in modern humans. The common shapes of the nose are not known but it was more protrusive and large than modern humans especially in the passageways, so Neanderthals could use energy much more efficiently than modern humans.

Schaaffhausen described the unusually massive bone structure of the find in detail and particularly noted the shape of the cranium - especially the low, sloping forehead and the bony ridges above the eyes: He considered these characteristics to be natural, rather than the results of illness or abnormal development.
Replica of the Steinheim skull. Note that the skull's brow ridges and slope of the forehead are not visible from this front angle. The Steinheim skull is a fossilized skull of a Homo neanderthalensis [1] or Homo heidelbergensis found on 24 July 1933 near Steinheim an der Murr, Germany. [2] It is estimated to be between 250,000 and 350,000 years ...
In the human skull, the frontal bone or sincipital bone is a unpaired bone which consists of two portions. [1] These are the vertically oriented squamous part, and the horizontally oriented orbital part, making up the bony part of the forehead, part of the bony orbital cavity holding the eye, and part of the bony part of the nose respectively.
