Craniofacial levels and the morphological maturation of the human skull

M Bastir, A Rosas, P O'Higgins - Journal of Anatomy, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
It is well known that the human skull achieves adult size through a superior–inferior gradient
of maturation. Because the basicranium matures in size before the face, it has been …

Sexual selection on human faces and voices

DA Puts, BC Jones, LM DeBruine - Journal of sex research, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
Humans are highly sexually dimorphic primates, and some of the most conspicuous human
sex differences occur in the face and voice. Consequently, this article utilizes research …

Biometric evidence that sexual selection has shaped the hominin face

EM Weston, AE Friday, P Liò - PLoS one, 2007 - journals.plos.org
