Summary. The growth type of the human occipital squamous part is completely different in Man and in Monkeys and Apes. The adult proportions between the sus-iniac and the sub-iniac parts are obtained through opposite rythms of relative growth, although at a certain, birth-close period of ontogeny, all the species seem to follow a similar size and shape relation.
