Craniofacial Adaptation

Craniofacial Adaptation is a biological evolution process characterized by structural modifications in the skull and facial bones in response to dietary shifts, particularly the transition from hard, fibrous foods to softer or processed diets, thereby influencing jaw morphology, dental arrangement, and masticatory muscle development.
