The Bone Clones Anthropological Skulls are high quality human skull replicas made by Bone Clones. Representing a valuable addition to anatomy lessons in medical education, these are an exceptional alternative to natural bone.

Additionally, the model serves as an exceptional tool for analysing skull anatomy variations among different races. This is beneficial when distinguishing ancestral groups. Within the detailed skull, the cranium and jaw can be observed. It is crafted to a level where the model exhibits an incredibly lifelike resemblance and texture of an actual human skull.

Features of the European Skull Models are:

• A prominent nasal root and an acute nasal angle
• A short nasal spine
• A sharp nasal sill at the lower part of the nostrils with a faint impression of bilateral gutters
• A moderately V-shaped upper dental arcade
• Blade-like incisors in the upper jaw
• Rough nasion and blunt supraorbital margins

Classical features of the Asian Skull Models, that differentiate it from the European models are:

• Lack of prominence in the cranial sites for musculofascial attachment
• A broad ascending mandibular ramus
• A mandible with a rounded inferior border
• A depressed nasal root and obtuse nasal angle
• Slightly rounded maxillary dental arcade
• Shovel-like maxillary incisors

Features of the Male Australian Aboriginal Skull Model include:

• Wide interocular distance
• Depressed nasal root and obtuse nasal angle
• Short anterior nasal spine and bilateral gutter on the nasal aperture's lower edge
• Absence of a nasal sill and post-bregmatic depression
• Rectangular maxillary dental arcade
• Peg-like maxillary incisors
• Broad ascending mandibular ramus
• Rough nasion and blunt supraorbital margins
• Square inferior border of the mandible

The characteristics of the Male African Skull Model include:

• Broad nasal aperture both superiorly and inferiorly
• Mild to moderate alveolar prognathism
• Blade-like maxillary incisors
• Smooth nasion
• Wide interocular distance
• Depressed nasal root and obtuse nasal angle
• Short anterior nasal spine
• Absence of a nasal sill and post-bregmatic depression
• Rectangular maxillary dental arcade
• Broad ascending mandibular ramus
• Blunt supraorbital margins
• Square inferior border of the mandible

The features of the African-Americal Skull Models that differentiate it from the African Skull Model include:

• Moderately prominent anterior nasal spine
• Sharp nasal sill
• Slightly rounded inferior border of the mandible
• Narrow nasal aperture superiorly and broader inferiorly (on the male skull model only)

The Male Polynesian Skull Model presents with the following distinct features:

• A typical "rocker jaw", a type of jaw that is characteristic of Polynesians
• Narrow and "pinched" nasal bones
• Mild sagittal keel and parietal bossing
• Large and slightly elevated occipital condyles

Overall, the Bone Clones Anthropological Skulls are quality teaching tools that facilitate stimulating classroom discussions. For instance, the minimal differences between male and female European models can provoke debate on the diagnostic difficulties in gender determination. The models are suitable for healthcare students, including dental, anatomy, medical, and forensic students.
