[Raeanne Dimick]

The supraorbital torus, also known as the brow ridge, is a bony ridge located above the eye sockets in the skull of many primates, including humans. This protruding structure helps protect the eyes and supports the weaker bones of the face. Its size and prominence can vary greatly among different species and may even be absent in certain individuals.
