By age fifty, almost everyone exhibits some form of osteoarthritis in their spine, and with time the arthritis advances. The examination of a 3.2 million year-old ancestor verifies osteoarthritis‟ longstanding condition in bipeds. Osteoarthritis in the vertebral column is characterized by osteophyte formation, or "lipping," on any part of the vertebra (Nordin 1989). This comparative study aims to target the location, frequency, and severity of osteophyte formation in the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae of humans...

The most widely used resource for estimating living stature from the length of long bones is the research of Trotter and Gleser (1952) (White, 2000). They studied the relationship between bone length and stature of American Blacks and Whites1 from the Terry Collection at the National Museum of Natural History. They also used records of the causalities from the Korean War (Trotter and Gleser, 1952). Their research is an important basis for...

Additionally, among those individuals with long bone fractures the percentages that had long bone fractures of specifically the upper limb were compared among species. The results showed a general trend toward higher incidence in long bone fractures among the more arboreal species. However, comparison of proportions of upper limb fractures shows that chimpanzees have the highest ratio of upper...
