- Suppose archaeologists discover human skeletal remains in Ethiopia. Examination of the bones suggests that the remains represent four individuals. Two of the skeletons have a broad pubic bone and a pelvis with a wide pubic arch. Within the two groups defined by pelvic differences, smaller skeletons have bones with evidence of epiphyseal plates, but larger bones have only a thin line where the epiphyseal plates should be. Give the age group and sex of the four individuals in the find.arrow_forward“Form reflects function” is a statement that applies to the skeletal system.
