[Introducing systematic degradation of the quantity of informations collected from a skull by metric study, inherent in the utilization of the quantitative method traditionnally used in cranial morphology].
Due to the fact that in present-day traditional craniometry one does not take into account the relative position of all the measured diameters or cords, one happens to construct, through a set of measures made on a given skull, an abstract multiform representation which has more than one million possible variants.
