skull shapes differ among men and females, among the races, and even among those of different heights.
I've heard about the height thing before, my professor's theory was that the tension of the musculature would be different based on density and length variance in the neck musscles and the tension this can also place on the jaw. the size of a human head has an ideal size and will fall out of scale proportionally against average height, meaning a short man and a tall man should have basically the same size head despite the difference in stature. meaning short and tall men need stronger neck muscles than those of average height and that musculature would create predictable variation in the skull and jaw.
short and tall men need stronger neck muscles than those of average height and that musculature would create predictable variation in the skull and jaw.
What about being short or tall would require additional musculature to hold and move the same mass?
If your body is smaller your head is larger proportionally thus the muscle density minimum would have to be a bit higher than a person of average height, neck muscles are inefficient over greater lengths because the higher center of gravity over the center of the trapezius muscles reduce structural efficiency of the muscle, which would also be true of other neck muscles and thus a higher muscle density and greater tension pulling on the base of the skull of taller people. these aren't massive differences but it's cumulative enough that skull shape aught to be a bit different over a lifetime.
..so, myself being of average height, r u implying it's safe for me to skip neck day from now on?
