title: [Inclination of the spinous processes of the cervical spine].
abstract: The inclination of the spinous processes of human cervical vertebrae was measured on a series of 117 columns. The analysis of the biometrical data demonstrates a typology, probably correlated to the morphology of the skull. This study opens for discussion some accepted interpretations related to posture, in human paleontology.
