Morphological correlates of distal fibular morphology withlocomotion in great apes, humans, and Australopithecus afarensis
[Objectives]: Recent studies highlighted the importance of the fibula to further ourunderstanding of locomotor adaptations in fossil hominins. In this study, we presenta three-dimensional geometric morphometric (3D-GM) investigation of the distal fibula in extant hominids andAustralopithecus afarens...

| Sumario: | [Objectives]: Recent studies highlighted the importance of the fibula to further ourunderstanding of locomotor adaptations in fossil hominins. In this study, we presenta three-dimensional geometric morphometric (3D-GM) investigation of the distal fibula in extant hominids andAustralopithecus afarensiswith the aim of pointing outmorphological correlations to arboreal behavior. |
