Résumé
The Neanderthal patellar morphology differs from that of recent humans by being anteroposteriorly thicker and by showing more symmetric articular facets and higher angles. However, it is still unclear to what extent these differences affect knee kinesiology. By using micro-focus X-ray tomography, we qualitatively and quantitatively characterized the inner conformation of six adult Neanderthal patellae from the OIS 5e site of Krapina, Croatia, and compared their pattern to the configuration di...
