摘要

In 1917, over a century ago, D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson published his groundbreaking book “On Growth and Form”, in which he proposed various mathematical transformations between the shapes of organisms. This paper explores one of the transformations he suggested the conformal pattern-specifically in the context of the ontogenetic growth of human skulls. We applied two alternative algorithms to construct conformal transformations and used them to investigate the growth of human skulls. Our findings indicate that the conformal transformation cannot be dismissed as a potential model for the growth of human skulls.
