Robustness (morphology)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. In biology, robustness is used to describe a species with a morphology based on strength and a heavy build. The alternative morphology is the gracile body type.
For example, comparing similar species, rats have robust body types while mice are gracile. Male and females of the same species may display sexual dimorphism and have robust and gracile morphologies.[citation needed] Archaic Homo sapiens were robust while anatomically modern humans are gracile.
