Four gibbon crania viewed from the right side, so they are facing toward the right of the image. Bones and teeth are semitransparent white-yellow, while endocranial (e.g. brain) surfaces are solid blue. They are in left-right order from infant to adult, showing how the teeth form and emerge and the cranium changes size and shape.
