The human skull is a quarter of an inch thick. It also depends on whether it is a female or male skull, and what age that person is. A man's skull is actually thicker then a female skull. So it is true, men do have thick skulls!

The thinnest part is the temporal bones (at the temples). This is important because there is an artery called the middle meningeal artery running along underneath it. If the skull is injured here, this vessel can rupture causing a haematoma that can compress the brain, requiring a neurosurgeon's attention.

About as thick as it is anywhere else on the body - a few millimeters.

It may appear thicker through the presence of varying amounts of subcutaneous fat.
