The Skull is a Machine


The human skull is a machine designed by nature nearly 500 million years ago to protect the brain. A model of mechanical efficiency, each of the skull’s features is built to support specific functions, including locating food, eating and sensory intake, and of course surrounding and protecting the fragile brain.


The attached pic is from Gray's Anatomy -- a classic book on the human anatomy published in 1918.
