Sexual Dimorphism of the Skull Below is a skull that can be considered hyper-male due to its extreme robust morphology. Your answer to this question should include the anatomical names and detailed morphological descriptions of two cranial sexing traits that support the male sex determination. Your written answer should be presented in the following format: 1) 'Cranial Trait Name': 'Trait Description' 2) 'Cranial Trait Name': 'Trait Description' Sexing Features of the Skull • chin morphology • external occipital protuberance • lateral surface gonial morphology • gonial angle • mastoid process • mental protuberance • nuchal lines • supraorbital ridge
