An Inca bone, also known as an interparietal bone, is a rare anatomical variant, specifically an accessory skull bone located at the back of the head, where the top of the occipital bone fails to fuse during development.
Named for its high prevalence in ancient Peruvian Inca skulls, it is a normal, harmless variant often used in forensic anthropology for population identification.
