The space spread in between eyebrow and hair line is called forehead. Forehead plays a significant role in face reading.
Scientists are of the belief that the men have been developed from four footed animal like monkey or chimpanzee. Monkey and chimpanzee were developed from four footed animals and the men progeny of chimpanzee or monkey. Lemur took five crore years to develop in the form of men. Lemur was originated on the earth five crore years ago and the perspective of chimpanzee was originated after the steady development of three crore years since then. The primitive perspective of human was developed from these chimpanzees, who learned to walk with the help of two legs about five lac years ago since today.
Comparative perspective of the skull of man, chimpanzee and Lemur has been shown in figure 100 and 101. It comes to know by their study that the development of frontal lobe and parietal lobe is seen only in the skull of man.
But this region is absolutely undeveloped, narrow in chimpanzee and Lemur. Intellectual faculties of the brain exists into forehead and emotional faculties remain in the upper portion of the head. Intellectual and emotional faculties existed into the man were developed at last stage of the development process.
In brief, forehead represents the intellectual faculty and upper portion of the head represents emotional faculty of the man. Intellectual capacity, emotional sensibility of the man will be observed through the development of these regions. Forehead and head should be studied keeping these scientific facts in mind.
