Introducing the Bone Clones Dog Skull Set, a unique collection of three skulls showcasing the incredible morphological diversity within a single species.
This set includes three distinct breeds: the Saluki (long and narrow, dolichocephalic), the Rottweiler (medium, mesaticephalic), and the English Bulldog (short and broad, brachycephalic). Together, they provide an opportunity to study the range of skull shapes and their functional adaptations.
Dogs and humans share a long and intertwined history. From assisting with hunting, guarding, and carting, to providing companionship, dogs have been shaped by human selection. This set allows students, educators, and researchers to explore both the role of humans in shaping canine form and the evolutionary adaptations that support survival and specific tasks.
Educational concepts highlighted by this set include: determining skull type, examining the benefits and limitations of different skull shapes, understanding natural selection versus selective breeding, evaluating features that support particular roles (hunting, guarding, carting, lap-warming), and predicting bite force relative to skull size.
Each Bone Clones Dog Skull is a 2-part model, with a separate cranium and lower jaw, ideal for detailed anatomical study and comparative analysis.
