Neoteny in Evolution of the Human Skull

Description
The skulls of fetal humans and chimpanzees are much more similar than are those of the adults. The grid lines show the pattern of growth, indicating much less change in the human skull from birth to adulthood. (Redrawn from Lewin, R. Human Evolution: An Illustrated Introduction, 3rd ed. Boston: Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1993. Reprinted with permission by Blackwell Science Ltd.)
