Nothing to do with the topic I was just listening to this album while editing the pics and writing this lol
Part 1 - The Basic Dimensions of the Skull
1A - Length and Width
The length of the skull is the length of the cranium from front to back. The width of of the skull is the width of the cranium from side to side.
Examples of long, narrow, dolichocephalic skulls.
Examples of short, wide, brachycephalic skulls.
1B - Height and Width
Pictured left, a short/wide, euryprosopic skull. Pictured right, a tall/narrow, leptoprosopic skull.
Also worth noting, a tall skull can be brachycephalic, and a vertically short skull can be dolichocephalic.
Part 2 - Width, Length, and Height are relative, except when they aren't.
This sounds unintuitive and can be confusing initially, but let me explain.
So cephalic index and facial index are ratios, meaning the dimensions used in them are relative. That means, when you say a dolichocephalic skull is long and narrow, it does not literally mean that the skull is long and narrow in terms of raw measurement, it simply means that the sagittal length is long relative to the width, which also means the width is relative to the length. Therefore, a dolichocephalic skull can actually be short, if its length is less than typical in terms of raw measurement.
I've seen plenty of users get hung up on this concept, so I figured I'd clarify. Additionally, as I mentioned earlier, you can have a cephalic index that does not match your facial index, so even in terms of ratios, your face can be both short and long, and vice versa.
TL;DR - Language is fluid and words mean different things in different contexts.
Part 3 - The Neurocranium and the Splanchnocranium
In my opinion this is one of the most underrated parts of the skullpill, and what has the greatest bearing on looks. Regardless of cephalic index, the ideal skull has a wide and long splanchnocranium relative to the neurocranium.
Primal chad skull VS modern cuck skull (roughly the same cephalic index and facial index btw)
BTW rep me and reply to this thread or your IPD will get 5mm narrower. I probably spent over an hour making all the skull images.
