The following is from ‘The Blackhouse’ by Peter May
The real bastard was a short, stocky man with thick, sandy hair
Brylcreemed back from a low brow.I know what a ‘brow’ is. I also looked up a ‘low brow’ in the dictionary but it doesn’t have a physical definition here Where about is a ‘low’ brow located on person’s brow in a physical sense? Is it somewhere right above one’s eyebrow?
Answer
A “low” brow refers to a forehead which is relatively short in height as measured from the eyebrows (from the top of the orbits of the skull) to the hair-line (e.g. Neanderthal). A high brow is just the opposite. Traditionally (pseudo-science) these cranial features have been associated with lower and higher intelligence, respectively.
