Recent evolutionary myological researches on the m. peroneus digiti IV and m. peroneus digiti V in Man have shown that these muscles had been at first an inseparable component of his peroneal musculature. The above mentioned muscles have undergone practically a full reduction in the course of man's phylogenesis. The peroneal muscular group of the pelvic limb of the Mesocricetus auratus consists now of m. peroneus longus, m. peroneus brevis and both m. peroneus digiti IV et m. peroneus digiti V. In other words, the situation is the same as in the Prosimia. The comparasion of the organogenesis of the muscles in question in Man and in the golden hamster shows that the morphology and topography of their primordia on the proximal parts of the metatarsus in the Man's embryo of 14 mm CRL are the same as in the embryo of Mesocricetus auratus of 11 d and 18 h. The development of this common primordium is different after that age of the embryos of both mammalian species. It reduces and usually completely disappears in Man, while in Mesocricetus auratus it gives rise of the tendons of the m. peroneus digiti IV and the m. peroneus digiti V. Thus the present research proves that the primordium in the proximal parts of the metatarsus of Man's embryo with 14 mm CRL is a tendo-forming plate of the tendons of the m. peroneus digiti IV and m. peroneus digiti V.
近期关于人类第四趾腓骨肌和第五趾腓骨肌的进化肌学研究表明，这些肌肉最初是人类腓骨肌群中不可分割的组成部分。在人类系统发育过程中，上述肌肉实际上已完全退化。金黄仓鼠后肢的腓骨肌群现在由腓骨长肌、腓骨短肌以及第四趾腓骨肌和第五趾腓骨肌组成。换句话说，这种情况与原猴亚目动物相同。对人类和金黄仓鼠中相关肌肉器官发生的比较表明，在头臀长14毫米的人类胚胎中，它们在跖骨近端部分的原基形态和位置，与11日龄18小时的金黄仓鼠胚胎相同。在这两个哺乳动物物种胚胎达到该年龄之后，这个共同原基的发育情况有所不同。它在人类中退化并通常完全消失，而在金黄仓鼠中，它发育成第四趾腓骨肌和第五趾腓骨肌的肌腱。因此，本研究证明，头臀长14毫米的人类胚胎跖骨近端部分的原基是第四趾腓骨肌和第五趾腓骨肌肌腱的腱形成板。
