Contours of the hominoid lateral tibial condyle with implications for Australopithecus.

Journal of human evolution - 1 Aug 2006

Organ Jason M, Ward Carol V

Abstract excerpt

Tibial condyle shape is alleged to vary among fossil tibiae attributed to Australopithecus, and has been argued to reflect functional differences of the knee. Convex anteroposterior curvature of the lateral tibial condyle in A. africanus has been interpreted to indicate a more chimpanzee-like locomotor repertoire than the flatter lateral tibial condyles of A. afarensis (Berger and Tobias, 1996, J. Hum. Evol. 30,...
