Cephalic index was identified by Swedish Professor of Anatomy Anders Rezitus (1796-1860) and first used physical anthropology to classify ancient human remains found in Europe. As it has been learnt from available literature, Cephalic Index was determined in 400 students from different regions of India. Geographical distribution of Cephalic Index revealed variations. Significant gender difference in the Cephalic Index was noted in Western and Southern regions of India.Keywords
