As a part of a study of seventeenth-century English skulls three angles
of a triangle in the cranium
rll{
N: nasial angle,
A: alveolar angle,
B: basilar angle,
}
were measured for 22 female and 29 male skulls.
These, together with similar measurement of 22 female and 29 male skulls
of the Naqada race are presented. The general objective is to investigate
possible sex and race differences in skull shape. The angles sums in the
row are all equal to 180 degrees.References
