The mandible connects directly to the temporal bone in humans. There is no other bone in between.
The mandible bone, commonly known as the jawbone, is the skull bone that connects to the lower jaw. It is the only movable bone in the skull and plays a crucial role in activities such as chewing and speaking.
Mandible, the others are all part of the top skull
Your cheekbone is actually called the zygomatic process which is a combination of two bones your zygomatic bone and your temporal bone... but the bone you feel and see on your face is your zygomatic
The hyoid bone, located in the neck, is the only bone in the body that does not articulate with any other bone. It has a body and two pairs of horns, or greater and lesser horns, giving it a two-headed appearance.
The jaw joint, also known as the temporomandibular joint, is an articulation of the mandible (lower jaw bone) with the temporal bone of the skull. It allows for movements such as opening and closing the mouth, chewing, and speaking. Dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint can result in pain and difficulty with these functions.

The mandible articulates with the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is a freely movable joint that allows for actions such as opening and closing the mouth, chewing, and speaking.

The jaw joint, also known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), includes the mandible (lower jaw bone) and the temporal bone (part of the skull).

It's the jaw bone, also known as the mandible. The auditory ossicles (ear bones), although moving, are not freely moving. We cannot control the movement of these bones, as they are controlled by the sound waves that are traveling through the ears.
