How is the s*x or a skeleton determined?

Question

What is Adams rib?

Answer 1

The s*x of a skeleton can be determined by the shape of the hip bones as well as some facial bones.

There's no such thing as "Adam's rib" - it's a fable in the bible.

Answer 2

It is also of note that the ring finger of males is longer than their index finger, on average. Women's fingers, here, are about the same length.

Answer 3

The s*x of a skeleton is determined by its hip structure. Adam's rib refers to the extra rib that females have, that males don't.

Answer 4

'Adam's Rib' is the name of a classic movie starring Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn.

You can tell the s*x by the size of the hip bone and facial features.

Answer 5

by the size of the bones and the structure of the bones. Men's bones are usually thicker and more dense than those of woman's. Women also have wider pelvic bones than men do.

Answer 6

It is also important to note that it is d**n near impossible to tell the s*x of a prepubescent skeleton.

Answer 8

By the bone structure like the broad shoulders, cheek bones, hips, size of hands & feet..etc
