Abstracts
A review of the visceral skeleton whose origin is in the branchial arches is reported here. It refers to bones, muscles and ligaments of relevant anatomical areas (ear ossicles, basicranium and mandible). The phylogenetic role of visceral skeleton components in the classification of prehistoric human remains has been analyzed by many scholars. It seems that the large morphological variation of these components among human groups makes their taxonomic significance questionable.
Cette contribution porte sur le squelette viscéral qui, trouvant son origine dans les arcs branchiaux, concerne os, muscles et ligaments de différentes régions anatomiques (osselets de l’oreille moyenne, basicranium et mandibule). Le rôle phylogénétique de ces différents composants dans la classification des fossiles humains a été analysé par plusieurs auteurs. La grande variation morphologique qui affecte ces composants interpelle quant à leur utilisation à des fins d’analyse taxinomique.
