The talar morphology of a hypochondroplasic dwarf: A case study from the Italian Late Antique period
This project aims to test whether geometric morphometric (GM) and trabecular analyses may be useful tools in identifying talar characteristics related to hypochondroplasia. We quantified the external and internal talar morphology of a hypochondroplasic dwarf (T17) from Modena (northern Italy) dated to the sixth century AD. External talar morphology of T17 was compared with a broad sample of modern human tali (n = 159) using GM methods. Additional…
The influence of mobility strategy on the modern human talus
OBJECTIVES: The primate talus is known to have a shape that varies according to differences in locomotion and substrate use. While the modern human talus is morphologically specialized for bipedal walking, relatively little is known on how its morphology varies in relation to cultural and environmental differences across time. Here we compare tali of modern human populations with different subsistence economies and lifestyles to explore how cultu…
Morphometric analysis of the hominin talus: Evolutionary and functional implications
Trajectory analysis among African hominoids can provide insights into genetic and epigenetic influences during ontogeny
OBJECTIVES: Prior examination of the ontogeny of Hominoid talo-crural joint morphology using Singular Warp analysis suggested both a genetic and epigenetic signal during development. This question is examined using trajectory analysis and its implications for the Hominin fossil record explored. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Trajectory analysis was used to examine talo-crural joint shape at different molar eruption stages during development among a cohor…
The ontogeny of talo‐crural appositional articular morphology among catarrhine taxa: Adult shape reflects substrate use
The upper ankle joint forms a single articular plane between organism and the foot and substrate. Singular warp analysis shows that its shape reflects substrate use. This study explores whether the differences in shape are genetic with a developmental trajectory evident during ontogeny or epigenetic and the result of substrate use by the individual. A total of 418 matched distal tibial and proximal talar landmarked surfaces from adult and subadul…
