The human skeleton is not as sexually dimorphic as that of many other primate species, but subtle differences between sexes in the morphology of the skull, dentition, long bones, and pelvis exist. In general, female skeletal elements tend to be smaller and less robust than corresponding male elements within a given population.
The same human pelvis, front imaged by X-ray (top), magnetic resonance imaging (middle), and 3-dimensional computed tomography (bottom). The pelvis (pl.: pelves or pelvises) is the lower part of an anatomical trunk, [1] between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region), together with its embedded skeleton [2] (sometimes also called bony pelvis or pelvic skeleton).
This list of related male and female reproductive organs shows how the male and female reproductive organs and the development of the reproductive system are related, sharing a common developmental path. This makes them biological homologues. These organs differentiate into the respective sex organs in males and females.
Human abdomen to the pelvic brim or to the pelvic inlet; The back – the spine and its components, the vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, intervertebral disks; Pelvis and perineum – the pelvis consists of everything from the pelvic inlet to the pelvic diaphragm; the perineum is the region between the sex organs and the anus
The pelvis is, in general, different between the human female and male skeleton. [12] [13] Although variations exist and there may be a degree of overlap between typically male or female traits, [12] [13] the pelvis is the most dimorphic bone of the human skeleton and is therefore likely to be accurate when using it to ascertain a person's sex ...
Dad bod – Slang term for a body shape particular to middle-aged men; Female body shape – Characteristic of human females; Human gait – A pattern of limb movements made during locomotion; Human physical appearance – Look, outward phenotype Phenotype – Composite of the organism's observable characteristics or traits
A subpubic angle of 50–82 degrees indicates a male; an angle of 90 degrees indicates a female. [2] Other sources operate with 50–60 degrees for males and 70–90 degrees in females. [1] Women have wider hips, and thus a greater subpubic angle, in order to allow for child birth.
The earliest known representations of female figures date from 23,000 to 25,000 years ago. [17] Models of the human head (such as the Venus of Brassempouy) are rare in Paleolithic art: most are like the Venus of Willendorf – bodies with vestigial head and limbs, noted for their very high waist:hip ratio of 1:1 or more.
