The skulls in the fossil records provide valuable information about hominin evolution, including changes in brain size, tooth structure, and overall body size over time. By analyzing the shape and size of these skulls, researchers can infer relationships between different hominin species, estimate when certain adaptations occurred, and reconstruct the likely appearance and behavior of these ancient human relatives. The study of fossil skulls also helps scientists understand the environmental pressures that influenced hominin evolution and shed light on the factors that led to the emergence of modern humans.
