This review article delves into the morphometric variations of the human skull from a forensic perspective, examining the intricate relationships between cranial form and its applications in forensic science. We explore the anatomical diversity of the human skull, highlighting how variations in size, shape, and structure are influenced by genetic, environmental, and developmental factors. The review emphasizes the role of cranial morphometry in forensic identification, including sex estimation, ancestry determination, and age assessment. We analyze various methodologies employed in forensic cranial analysis, such as traditional measurements, geometric morphometrics, and advanced imaging techniques. By synthesizing current research findings and technological advancements, this article provides a comprehensive overview of how morphometric data is utilized to aid in criminal investigations and anthropological studies. The review also discusses the limitations and future directions in forensic cranial research, underscoring the need for continued innovation and refinement in morphometric techniques to enhance forensic accuracy and reliability.
