Inhaltsangabe

The author has developed a morphogenetic method, a comprehensive system that can be used to describe, decipher, and classify disturbances in normal skeletal development in the study of prehistoric and contemporary populations. She points out that restricting research to severe defects detectable at birth (which are also generally lethal) eliminates the bulk of defects that are not detected at birth (and which are generally not lethal); thus developmental defects are more appropriate for study than congenital defects.
