[Can one speak of the "recession" of the frontal bone?].

The receding aspect of the frontal bone in Primates and fossil men, comes primarily from the orientation adopted and the nature of the point chosen, the ontogenic shift of which is important. There is a confusion between shape and position notions. A study in the "vestibular" axes demonstrate that the inclination of the squamous portion of the frontal bone is significantly less variable then has been claimed, especially if one considers the endocranium.

[Tridimensional vestibular study of important aspects of the human frontal region during growth].

The frontal bone, during its growth, has been analysed in the three dimensions of space, oriented by the vestibular axes of reference by the means of the coordinates of its noteworthy points, its notable linear measures and the distance of its elements relatively to the center of the axes. Its variability has also been explained by the construction of equiprobable ellipses of tolerance. These ellipses show the part due to growth and the part due to variation, the latter being more pronounced on the level of the dome of the skull than on the level of the basis.

[Ontogenic development of the surface of craniofacial sagittal angular sectors in man and chimpanzee].

By means of a technique for measuring surfaces by direct reading, six angular sectors have been studied (3 for the face and 3 for the skull) at various ontogenic periods of Man, common chimpanzee and dwarf chimpanzee. The growth curves have been drawn for absolute values and for relative values. They show a certain evolutive parallelism between the frontal bone and the parietal bone, and between the face and the mandible, with a special fate for the occipital bone.

[Angles of the base of the skull in chimpanzees].

Ten angular measurements have been retained for a study of the basis of the skull for two species of chimpanzees : Pan troglodytes (83 skulls) and Pan paniscus (179 skulls). Were especially studied : growth and sexual or specific differences. Classical parameters or angles measured in reference to the horizontal vestibular axis were used. The statistical study clearly shows the phenomenom of negative rotation with an ontogenic accentuation of quadrupedia.

[Phylogenic interest of the clivo-pterygoid angle].

The comparison between the planum-clivus angle of Man and the african Pongids shows that the closing of this angle is the result of a noticeable rotation of the clivus and a less important rotation of the planum in an opposite direction.

[Spatial variability of some lateral cranial points in chimpanzees].

The differential variability of cranial regions of chimpanzees has been studied, in the three dimensional space defined by the vestibular method, by means of the volume of the ellipsoid surrounding the scatter diagram of each lateral point. Thus the importance of the variation of a given point as a function of its position can be measured and the specific and sexual differences of this variation can be determined.
