Question

Is there one particular measurement that seems to always show
whether a skeleton is male or female or do you have the take in all of the
measurements as a whole to make that determination? Explain your
reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes. The pelvis.

Explanation:

Female pelves are larger and wider than male pelves and have a rounder pelvic inlet. Male iliac crests are higher than females, causing their false pelves to look taller and narrower. This wider pelvis is an adaptation for childbirth. You can visually differentiate between a pelvis that belong to a male or female.
