[Analysis of various craniofacial architectural types using the ontogenic approach of humanization]

A new concept of craniofacial growth and of the physiology of membranous sutures provides new insight into the different craniofacial architectural types encountered in modern Man. This is based on the hypothesis that cranial sutures reflect certain biodynamic laws pertaining to a phenomenon of craniofacial contraction that took place in the course of development over the ages. At present, craniofacial biodynamics is the sole concept capable of shedding light on matters such as the evolution of the skull, its diversification and transformation down from the primeval primates.
