Describing a face that is relatively broad and flat, with a low or short vertical dimension compared to its width.
From Greek 'chamae' (low, flat) and 'prosopon' (face). This anthropological term was used to classify facial variations in human populations.
Physical anthropology used detailed facial measurements like this—though when misapplied to racial classifications, it became pseudoscientific racism, showing how objective measurements can become tools for bias if not used thoughtfully.
