On the squama frontalis of the frontal bone of the skull, below the frontal eminences, and separated from them by a shallow groove, are two arched elevations, the superciliary arches; these are prominent medially, and are joined to one another by a smooth elevation named the glabella.
Typically, the superciliary arches are more prominent in monkeys than in humans, and more in men than in women.
