Variation in Pubic Symphysis Fusion Across Primates
New insights into the Neanderthal pelvis morphology based on a partial os coxae from El Sidrón (Asturias, Spain)
The Neanderthal pelvis exhibits distinctive features compared to modern humans, including wider and more flared iliac blades, a more anteriorly positioned sacrum, and a longer and thinner, outwardly oriented pubic bone. Each new addition to the pelvic fossil record is significant for enhancing our understanding of Neanderthal morphology and variation. Here, we present SD-1663, the most complete adult os coxae fragment recovered from the El Sidrón…
Ecomorphological study of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) distal phalanx
Reindeer mobility patterns exhibit significant variability in modern ecosystems, especially between open and wooded environments. This variability makes it difficult to reconstruct past reindeer migration patterns, which is key to understand the role of reindeer herds in the sustenance and territorial organization of Prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies. By examining morphology associated with different habitats and movement patterns, insights i…
Three‐dimensional analysis of sexual dimorphism in the soft tissue morphology of the upper airways in a human population
Assessing thoraco‐pelvic covariation in Homo sapiens and Pan troglodytes
OBJECTIVES: Understanding thoraco-pelvic integration in Homo sapiens and their closest living relatives (genus Pan) is of great importance within the context of human body shape evolution. However, studies assessing thoraco-pelvic covariation across Hominoidea species are scarce, although recent research would suggest shared covariation patterns in humans and chimpanzees but also species-specific features, with sexual dimorphism and allometry inf…
Three-dimensional geometric morphometrics of thorax-pelvis covariation and its potential for predicting the thorax morphology
Analyses of the neandertal patellae from El Sidrón (Asturias, Spain) with implications for the evolution of body form in Homo
Comparative anatomy and 3D geometric morphometrics of the El Sidrón atlases (C1)
D geometric morphometric analysis of variation in the human lumbar spine
OBJECTIVES: The shape of the human lumbar spine is considered to be a consequence of erect posture. In addition, several other factors such as sexual dimorphism and variation in genetic backgrounds also influence lumbar vertebral morphology. Here we use 3D geometric morphometrics (GM) to analyze the 3D morphology of the lumbar spine in different human populations, exploring those potential causes of variation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We collected 3…
Three‐dimensional analysis of sexual dimorphism in ribcage kinematics of modern humans
OBJECTIVES: Sexual dimorphism is an important biological factor underlying morphological variation in the human skeleton. Previous research found sex-related differences in the static ribcage, with males having more horizontally oriented ribs and a wider lower ribcage than females. Furthermore, a recent study found sex-related differences in the kinematics of the human lungs, with cranio-caudal movements of the caudal part of the lungs accounting…
The torso integration hypothesis revisited in Homo sapiens
Objectives: Lower thoracic widths and curvatures track upper pelvic widths and iliac blades curvatures in hominins and other primates (torso integration hypothesis). However, recent studies suggest that sexual dimorphism could challenge this assumption in Homo sapiens . We test the torso integration hypothesis in two modern human populations, both considering and excluding the effect of sexual dimorphism. We further assess covariation patterns be…
Morphological and functional implications of sexual dimorphism in the human skeletal thorax
OBJECTIVES: The human respiratory apparatus is characterized by sexual dimorphism, the cranial airways of males being larger (both absolutely and relatively) than those of females. These differences have been linked to sex-specific differences in body composition, bioenergetics, and respiratory function. However, whether morpho-functional variation in the thorax is also related to these features is less clear. We apply 3D geometric morphometrics …
Three‐dimensional analysis of sexual dimorphism in the soft tissue morphology of the upper airways in a human population
OBJECTIVES: Several studies have analyzed the sexual dimorphism of the skeletal cranial airways. This study aimed to quantify the three-dimensional (3D) morphology of the soft tissues of the upper airways in a human population. We addressed hypotheses about morphological features related to respiratory and energetic aspects of nasal sexual dimorphism. METHODS: We reconstructed 3D models of 41 male and female soft tissue nasal airways from compute…
