Abstract
Macroscopic and histological parameters are considered in an analysis of bone formation in the supraorbital region of macaques (Macaco mulatta), baboons (Papio cynocephalus artubis), and chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus). Results indicate that postnatal osteogenesis of the supraorbital segment of the frontal bone in these primates occurs as a cyclic phenomenon that coincides with dental eruption patterns.Keywords
