Directional asymmetry in the lower limbs in pre-industrial humans and La Ferrassie Neandertals
Bilateral asymmetry in the lower limbs may reflect patterns of habitual biomechanical stress and relative mobility of past populations. While most studies look at the level of directional asymmetry (DA) mainly in the leg bones, analyses of these bones alone may not provide a complete picture of beh...

| Resumo: | Bilateral asymmetry in the lower limbs may reflect patterns of habitual biomechanical stress and relative mobility of past populations. While most studies look at the level of directional asymmetry (DA) mainly in the leg bones, analyses of these bones alone may not provide a complete picture of behavior. The main purpose was to assess the level of DA of femurs, tibias, 1st and 5th metatarsals (MT1 and MT5) in medieval humans from Poland (13 males, 8 females) and La Ferrassie Neanderthals (LF... |
