Résumé

According to evo-devo theory, the embryonic development of the nasal organ mimics its phylontogenic formation: the lateral masses of the human ethmoid bone develop by curved "onion" stacking of the endoturbinals (the horizontal bone septa of the mammalian olfactory chamber) under the impact of facial and skull-base remodeling, rather than by pneumatization of cavities communicating via ostia.
