The anatomical group or class of organisms that possess a skull, including vertebrates; the skull-bearing animals.
From cranio- + -ta (plural suffix in scientific taxonomy). A zoological classification term from comparative anatomy.
Craniota encompasses everything from fish to humans—and studying how skulls evolved from simple fish heads to complex human brains is like reading the autobiography of vertebrate life.
