With the skull being malleable at birth, does the shape of your skull affect one's susceptibility to head trauma?
Some boxers have an "iron chin" and can take punches better than others. When my nephews were born, it was explained that the shape of the skull is not permanent and changes in the early stages of infancy. This got me thinking, can the shape of your skull help reduce your chance of head trauma such as concussions? If so, can a baby's skull be "shaped" to help reduce this risk throughout their life?
