Etymology
editMy english teacher told me that the word "skull" comes from vikings who ravaged England and used human skulls as drinking glasses, saying "skål", in english "cheers", before drinking from them, thus giving the name. I haven't though found any other source to confirm that, but it would be interest to know whether it is true or not. And if it is, I think ii could be added here. Latre
Re-structuring the Table of Contents
editIs the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?
Hi there,
This article was a fascinating read thank you!
One element that popped out at me was the ordering of major sections in the Table of Contents. Perhaps introducing a sequential flow to the article would allow readers to absorb a more efficient understanding of the scientific and factual information. Below is an example that categorizes the information from factual, to historic, to modern day knowledge:
1. Lead section 2. Terminology 3. Structure of the human skull 4. Development of the human skull 5. Skeletal similarities/differences between human and vertebrate animals 6. The human skull in cultural societies 7. Clinical significance of the human skull
Just a thought to ponder!

- Hello Sammyturch - was just looking at the page thinking along similar lines - the layout you suggest is a very good one imo, and hope it will be implemented. There was a lot of pressure in the past to lessen the emphasis of 'human' in articles. I shall put it to the anatomy project. Would be good if you stayed around - editing? --Iztwoz (talk) 05:56, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Evolution
editI was hoping to read more about the evolution of the skull. Are there existing articles that cover this? - Gilgamesh (talk) 18:54, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
