Function, ontogeny and canalization of shape variance in the primate scapula.

Journal of anatomy - 1 Nov 2006

Young Nathan M

Abstract excerpt

Primates have shoulders adapted to a wide range of locomotor functions from terrestrial pronograde quadrupedalism to highly arboreal suspensory behaviours. The shape of the scapula tightly follows these functional differences. Previous analyses of primate postcrania, including the scapula, indica...
