A Visual Atlas of Skeletal Growth and Development
A Visual Atlas of Skeletal Growth and Development provides professionals, practitioners, and students with a single resource that visually illustrates the skeletal growth and development of individual human bones from birth until skeletal maturity. Each chapter focuses on a specific element and provides visualizations at annual increments along with multiple views. The long bones, elements of the pelvic and shoulder girdles, and the skull are included in this resource. The visualizations are derived from virtual reconstructions of computed tomography scans of actual subadult material carefully selected and chosen to exemplify typical developmental stages at each age. In addition to the visualizations, statistical data on ages of appearance of ossification centers and epiphyseal fusion are provided in tables for quick comparison and reference. Univariate age estimation diagrams, along with a broader discussion and recommendations for subadult age estimation, are also provided. These data and images were derived from data collected from approximately 5,000 individuals via medical images in eight countries that are curated in the Subadult Virtual Anthropology Database. A Visual Atlas of Skeletal Growth and Development will be a vital reference for professionals and students in biological anthropology, human biology, and health sciences, and is a useful resource for individuals interested in learning about the growth and development of the skeleton through images and empirical data.
