RE: Are u a good science student?, prove your intelligence. How do investigators and scientists tell if a bone or skeleton belongs to a man or a woman?

in #nigeria7 years ago

Male humerus, ulna and radius (bones that comprise most of the arm) are thicker and longer than females, as are phalanges (finger bones). Typically also true for male femur, tibla and fibula (bones comprising the legs) being longer than females.

The major difference is, of course, in the pelvis.

None of which can really be determined with any great level of confidence from the statuettes in your image due to the fact they aren't real skeletons.

Ok Neuromancer, so which is female among the three?
