An anatomical point on the skull located at the highest point of the hair on the forehead; a craniometric landmark used in physical anthropology.
From Greek krinis meaning hair plus the anatomical suffix -ion, a point on the human body defined for measurement purposes in physical anthropology.
Crinion is part of a specialized vocabulary in physical anthropology—researchers use dozens of precisely named skull landmarks like nasion, bregma, and crinion to measure and compare skulls scientifically, creating a kind of 'human blueprint' vocabulary that most people never encounter.
