“The jaw of most animals is formed of two bones joined together
at the apex of the chin where the lower jaw ends in a point. In a

and most of the skilled dissectors after the time of Hippocrates
asserted that the jaw is not a single bone. However this may be, so
far no human jaw has come to my attention constructed of two
bones”
