In 3 to 8 kg animals, the head of males is heavier than that of females. In males, the brain, masticatory musculature, skull, and mandible are absolutely heavier so that the head mass is greater than that of females. However, as males grow^ beyond 8 kg the remainder of the body outgrows the head and its component tissues and the head continues to drop in relative weight. Thus, the male head becomes smaller. Each shoulder represents 3 to of body mass of the infant (Fig. 6) but rises to more than 5% in the adult male. The greatest.
