| Sumario: | This article highlights the significance of human skull. The skull encloses the brain, protects it and makes it possible for the brain to deal with the surrounding world. The brain and the brain case, which is a different structure, had to undergo simultaneous evolution, for the brain could not operate without its protective shell. Back to the human skull and the face built upon it by muscles and layers of fat. The face and the skull beneath have long fascinated human beings. The skull also is a reminder of how we are armed against threats which have been a constant in human life over the long path of evolutionary development. |
