ANCIENT

-

TIMES

Historically human form measurements.
1 - self portrayal in sculpture, drawing and
painting.
2 - relation of physique - health, temperament and
behavioral traits.


Paleolithic age some 35,000 years ago


The ancient Egyptians developed an intricate
quantitative system that defined the proportions of
the human body. It became the CANON.

steepness/flatness
Increased angle: assess
skeletal open bite, lip
incompetence,increased
facial height,
retrognathia.
Decreased angle: assess
deep bite, decreased facial
height, lip redundancy.
