Sex is the same thing as gender in humans. False 11. All of the following techniques can be used to estimate age in subadults EXCEPT: Dental formation Dental eruption Epiphyseal closure Cranial suture closure 12. Assessing sex for female skulls for which the individual is older than 60 years can be difficult because: Female skulls become more masculine with age due to postmenopausal changes 13.
