Is Scuba Skeleton a boy or a girl?
Forensic scientists are able to determine the gender of a skeleton from many features because human bones exhibit sexual dimorphism. In males, the skull is generally more rugged looking, and there are key differences of the brow, the chin, and the eye sockets. Additionally, the bump at the base of the skull (the occipitial condyle) is much more defined in males than in females, where it can be nearly invisible. In addition, the hip bones show a marked difference in male and female specimens, as the female pelvis is wider to accomodate childbirth.
