Abstract
Background: Craniometrics is an important tool for an anthropologist and forensic experts for identification of the racial and sexual differences, offsprings and siblings towards their genetic transmission of inherited characteristics and also to a great extent for the facial reconstruction of disputed identity.

Material and Methodology: The present study was carried out with 140 (90 male & 50 female) dry human skull procured from Department of Anatomy, N.S.C.B. medical college, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. Cranial measurements were taken; data was tabulated and statistically analyzed Results: The study showed that the mean cranial index was 77.89±3.55. The mean cranial index for male was 77.65 ±3.34 and for female was 78.13 ±3.76. The difference between male and female cranial index was statistically significant (p< 0.001).
