Abstract

The supposed "nonhuman anthropoid"-type femur head articular surface described for the Pliocene hominid specimen A.L.288-1 ("Lucy") by Stern and Susman in 1983 is present in significant numbers of modern human femora. This nonmetric skeletal trait was also found to be sex-related in modern human samples examined.

摘要

斯特恩和苏斯曼在1983年为上新世原始人类标本A.L.288 - 1（“露西”）所描述的那种所谓“非人类类人猿”类型的股骨头关节面，在大量现代人类股骨中也存在。在对现代人类样本的检查中还发现，这种非测量性骨骼特征与性别有关。
