The discovery (in 1971) of a nearly complete right ulna from the Shungura Formation of the Omo basin provides the opportunity to abalyze the forelimb structure of the Australopithecus boisei form of early hominid. Results from multivariate morphometric analyses show that this bone is unique in shape among the extant hominoids although it is most similar to Pan and Homo. Despite its long slender shaft and large distal articular surface the bone's overall morphology is quite unlike Pongo.
1971年在奥莫盆地的舒古拉组发现了一根近乎完整的右侧尺骨，这为分析早期原始人类布氏南方古猿的前肢结构提供了契机。多变量形态测量分析结果表明，这块骨头在现存类人猿中形状独特，尽管它与黑猩猩和人类最为相似。尽管其骨干细长且远端关节面较大，但其整体形态与红毛猩猩截然不同。
