Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Overall, the male skull tends to be larger, have a lower, sloping forehead, larger muscle attachment sites and smaller, squarer eye sockets when compared to females.
Detailed explanation-2: -Males: The vault of the skull is more rounded. Females: The vault is flattened than that in females.
Detailed explanation-3: -As testosterone causes a longer period of bone growth, it also influences muscle mass, which can enlarge muscle attachment sites. So, following puberty, male skulls-as well as other bones-are generally larger and more robust, meaning they are more developed at their muscle attachment sites than those of females.
