Developmental Juvenile Osteology serves as an essential reference text, meticulously documenting the development of the entire human skeleton from early embryonic life to adulthood. This comprehensive guide is ideal for professionals and students in the fields of forensic anthropology, pediatrics, and osteology.
Since the publication of the first edition, there has been a significant resurgence of interest in the developing skeleton. The second edition of Developmental Juvenile Osteology incorporates a wealth of key literature published over the past years, ensuring that readers have access to the most current research and findings.
The core of this text remains dedicated to a systematic approach, describing each individual component of the human skeleton from its embryological origins to its final adult form.
