The glenoid fossa in the skull of the Eskimo / by F.H.S. Knowles. : M183-5/9-1915E-PDF

"The glenoid fossae in the human skull are concave depressions on the basal aspect of the temporal bones. Each fossa is divided into two parts by the Glaserian fissure; the anterior portion concave, smooth, and bounded in front by the eminentia articularis, serves for the articulation of the condyle of the lower jaw; the posterior portion, rough and bounded behind by the tympanic plate, serves for the reception of part of the parotid gland. It is with the anterior portion that I intend to deal, and my object in this paper is to show that in the skulls of those Eskimo who have existed under the primitive conditions of life habitual to their race, the surface for articulation with the mandible is not deeply concave as in the skulls of modern highly civilized races, but tends on the whole to be shallow, and in many instances very remarkably so"--Page [1].
