Variation in fibular robusticity reflects variation in mobility patterns

Publication year: 2011 Source: Journal of Human Evolution, Available online 20 September 2011 Damiano Marchi, Colin N. Shaw During hominin plantigrade locomotion, the weight-bearing function of the fibula has been considered negligible. Nevertheless, studies conducted on human samples have demonstrated that, even if less than that of the tibia, the load-bearing function of the fibula still represents a considerable portion of the entire load borne by the leg.
