Definition
Plural of cranium; the main part of the skull that encloses and protects the brain.
Etymology
From Latin cranium, from Greek kranion 'skull,' possibly from a root meaning 'to protrude' or 'to horn.' The word has meant the braincase since ancient medical texts.
Kelly Says
Human craniums have grown about 20% larger over the past 20,000 years, but we still struggle to fit through birth canals—one reason human babies are born so helpless compared to other primates.
