This atlas on "Epigenetic Variants of the Human Skull" by Hauser and De Stefano serves as a crucial reference for minor cranial variants, termed epigenetic due to their connection to genetically influenced growth processes in other tissues affecting bone formation. These traits can change during development under the influence of modifying genes or environmental factors, exhibiting variable expression. Previously regarded mainly as skeletal anomalies, renewed interest emerged following genetic studies in mice that highlighted the potential significance of these variants. The atlas addresses essential questions regarding the utility, identification, and definitions of these characters, as well as their embryology, genetic control, and medical relevance. It includes 84 characters, detailing nomenclature, anatomy, function, growth, genetics, sex differences, symmetry, age variation, associations with other traits, and scoring methods, including new findings based on proposed methodologies. High-quality photographs and color overlays of the skull enhance clarity. Collaborating with 13 international experts, the work is valuable across various disciplines, including Human Biology, Genetics, Forensic Medicine, and Surgery. An extensive bibliography and synoptical index further enrich this reference, making it accessible and informative for both specialists and students.
