## Abstract Morphological integration and modularity are important points of intersection between evolution and the development of organismal form. Identification and quantification of integration are also of increasing paleoanthropological interest. In this study, the βposterior face,β i.e., the m
The vertebrate cranium is generally classified into the neurocranium and the viscerocranium. The latter is derived from the neural crest and so is the prechordal portion of the neurocranium. A view we favor considers the prechordal neurocranium as the premandibular component of the viscerocranium, a
