Abstract
This essay attempts to address the perennial question ‘Why Paranasal Sinuses?’. In doing so it highlights the flaws in many much-favoured but ill-founded theories concerning the role of these sinuses in humans. It is concluded that the question can only be fully answered through a greater understanding of differential growth changes within the craniofacial massif.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
