The Physical Anthropologist as Craniofacial Biologist
Keyword(s):
Growth—the progressive change in size and complexity of a person as he moves toward maturity—is often viewed as anatomy's "fourth dimension." It is the "dimension" that provides change: change in size, in proportionality, in morphology, in spatial relationships of structures, in complexity, as well as profound changes in the child's psychological and behavioral framework. As we all appreciate, an adult is not just a very large infant; instead, different tissues and structures have their own agespecific patterns of growth, which accounts for our pretty good ability to determine someone's age simply from their proportions (as in a photograph) without regard to their absolute size.
