Relationships between the frontal sinus and climatic conditions: A skeletal approach to cold adaptation
Abstract Previous studies in physical anthropology, using superficial facial features, show that the relationship between human facial morphology and climate is not clear. An alternate approach to the problem is the investigation of the deeper facio‐anatomical structures (i.e., cranial sinuses and/o...

Abstract Previous studies in physical anthropology, using superficial facial features, show that the relationship between human facial morphology and climate is not clear.
