Anatomical networks reveal the musculoskeletal modularity of the human head.

Scientific reports - 6 Feb 2015

Abstract excerpt

Mosaic evolution is a key mechanism that promotes robustness and evolvability in living beings. For the human head, to have a modular organization would imply that each phenotypic module could grow and function semi-independently. Delimiting the boundaries of head modules, and even assessing their existence, is essential to understand human evolution. Here we provide the first study of the human head using...
