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.
Paul viewed his newborn daughter through the nursery window at the hospital and was distressed because the infant’s skull was badly misshapen. A nurse told him not to worry— the shape of the infant’s head would return to normal in a few days. 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?
