'''Craniometry''' is measurement of the cranium (the main part of the skull), usually the human cranium. It is considered today to be politically sensitive due to associations with brain size/anatomy and [[race]].

== Early research ==
Much of the criticism of craniometry, often by [[Boasian anthropology]], concern early usage, such as regarding [[Nordicism]] and the [[cephalic index]]. Possible problems with such early research do not mean that later and/or unrelated research, such as on average brain size differences between groups, must be incorrect, but [[guilt by association]] attacks trying to imply this are common.

Furthermore, some of the criticisms of such early research, such as by [[Franz Boas]] and [[Stephen Jay Gould]], have been shown to be incorrect:

Recent research include by methods such as modern imaging technologies. Recent (and some older) research have not just measured the cranium, but also, for example, the brain directly.
