Understanding the Misalignment of Dental Artificial Intelligence: An Empirical Study on Clinicians' Perceived Needs versus Technologically-Driven Development
Modularity of the wrist in extant hominines
), to find the model that best describes the covariation patterns among four of the eight carpals (i.e., capitate, lunate, scaphoid, and trapezium). For this purpose, 15 modular hypotheses were tested using the Covariance Ratio. Results indicate that there is a covariation structure common to all hominines, which corresponds to stronger covariation within each carpal as compared to the covariation between carpals. However, the results also indica…
Relation between muscle architecture and first metacarpal morphology, and its implications for human hand evolution
Previous studies have proposed that our ability to produce and use stone tools was the primary selective pressure explaining the evolution of the human hand. Derived traits in humans include a robust first metacarpal and longer thumbs relative to the other fingers. Along with other anatomical peculiarities, humans can exert forceful precision and have powerful grips, and can resist loads during tool production and use. Despite this biomechanical …
A geometric morphometric approach to the study of sexual dimorphism in the modern human frontal bone
OBJECTIVES: We analyzed the main anatomical traits found in the human frontal bone by using a geometric morphometric approach. The objectives of this study are to explore how the frontal bone morphology varies between the sexes and to detect which part of the frontal bone are sexually dimorphic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample is composed of 161 skulls of European and North American individuals of known sex. For each cranium, we collected 3D la…
Insertion sites in manual proximal phalanges of African apes and modern humans
OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to describe the insertion sites of the ligaments holding the flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis muscles (flexor ridges) in proximal phalanges 2-5 of African apes and modern humans. To interpret differences in flexor ridge size based on general behavioral differences among taxa. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ) were compared within and across genera. RESULTS: Gorillas and chimpanzees had larger flexo…
