Hominid Skull Morphology Simulator

Interactive 3D comparative skull morphology simulator: morph continuously between chimpanzee, Australopithecus afarensis, Homo habilis, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens proxy skulls, watching cranial capacity, brow ridge, jaw prognathism and foramen magnum position change in real time.

Genetics & Evolution3DModerate60 FPS

Morph continuously between five simplified hominid skull proxies — chimpanzee, Australopithecus afarensis, Homo habilis, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens — while tracking cranial capacity, brow ridge prominence, jaw prognathism and foramen magnum position in real time.

⚙ Under the hood

Morph continuously between five proxy hominid skulls (chimpanzee, Australopithecus afarensis, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo sapiens) along the real evolutionary sequence. A single slider interpolates cranial capacity, frontal-bone slope, brow ridge prominence, jaw prognathism and foramen magnum position, with a live cranial-capacity readout in cm3 and a clickable row of reference skulls.
