anthropology question a skull exhibits a round entrance wound to the left temporal and an outwardly beveled exit wound to the right temporal. no fracture lines emanate from the entrance wound, but several large lines radiate from the exit wound, what was the placement and what type of weapon was used to cause these injuries

This question may be completed independently or as a group discussion. Use the skeleton diagram above to help you visualize the different bone shapes in the human body. Why are short bones well suited to an area like the wrist? Why are long bones more suited to areas like the lower arm? View keyboard shortcuts

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 skeletal elements do anthropologists rely on to estimate sex? Keep in mind that these are estimations (not determinations), and that bone preservation will impact these interpretations. Select ALL that apply.   A. Cranial Measurements   B. Angle of the Humerus   C. Pelvis Shape   D. Calcaneus Measurements
