Of course, provided you know that – and won't be too disappointed if it's wrong – there's no harm in giving it a go. So, as accurate as some may find it, skull theory is nothing more than a bit of fun, similar to one of the many old wives' tales that just keeps on popping up on the subject of whether it's a boy or a girl. 'no meaningful scientific evidence of it being meaningfully accurate'. 'Until you get to maturity or at least puberty you just don't get these sexually dimorphic features of the skulls in males and females,' says Dr Killgrove.Ĭonsultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Shazia Malik agrees.
The teeth (J) of males tend to be larger. The male's gonion (I) – the most lower rear point on angle of the lower jaw bone – is more flared out and sharply angled. 
The superciliary arch (H) is large and pronounced in males. The male forehead (F) is lower and more sloping. The mandible or lower jaw bone (E) of a male is squared, unlike a female's, which is rounded. The zygomatic bone (D) – the cheekbone that lies under the lower eye ridge – is more pronounced on the male skull. A male's supraorbital margin (C) – the ridge above the eyes – is round and dull. The temporal ridge (B), which runs along the outer side of the upper skull creating the square shape of the upper head is more prominent in males than females. The male cranial mass (A) is more blocky and big compared to the female's, which is rounder and tapers at the top.
