You are running an anatomy lab program, and you are interested in categorizing all of your skulls into those that would be considered more female-like, and those that would be considered more male- like. Read through the description of each skull below and estimate the number of "male" and "female" skulls in total, based on your understanding of how to determine the sex of a skull. Skull one: square mental protuberance, dull supraorbital margin, prominent superciliary arches, small external occipital protuberance. Skull two: round mental protuberance, dull supraorbital margin, small superciliary arches, small external occipital protuberance. Skull three: square mental protuberance, sharp supraorbital margin, prominent superciliary arches, prominent external occipital protuberance. O 1 female and 2 male skulls. 3 male skulls. 3 female skulls. 2 female and 1 male skulls.

What caused the misshapen skull, and what anatomic feature of the neonatal skull allows it to return to a more rounded shape?
How do the relative proportions of the cranium and face of a fetus compare with those of an adult skull?
