Characterizing the body morphology of the first metacarpal in the Homininae using 3D geometric morphometrics

2020-05-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> The morphological characteristics of the thumb are of particular interest due to its fundamental role in enhanced manipulation. Despite its possible importance regarding this issue, the body of the first metacarcapal (MC1) has not been fully characterized using morphometrics. This could provide further insights into its anatomy, as well as its relationship with manipulative capabilities. Hence...
