Male Chimp Hyoid KO-102 The hyoid, a horseshoe-shaped bone, is unique in that it is the only bone not articulated to any other bone of the skeleton, instead being connected to the skull by ligaments and muscles. The hyoid is implicated in the evolution of speech development. Recently, researchers at Kyoto University in Japan discovered that in both chimps and humans the larynx descends in the newborn. Only in the newborn human, however, does the hyoid descend in relation to the lower jaw and cranial base. Male Chimp Hyoid Larger Image. Please Use Your Back Button To Return To This Page. |
