Résumé En

Highlights  The Cro-Magnon human remains include 17 pedal bones, including 9 tarsals, 7 metatarsals and a phalanx.  The pedal remains can be grouped into three individuals, corresponding to the Alpha, Beta and Gamma Cro-Magnon postcranial individuals.  The pedal length proportions and articular morphology are unexceptional for Late Pleistocene and recent humans.  The Beta and especially the Gamma tali provide evidence of habitual talocrural dorsiflexion (squatting).  The Alpha first metatarsophalangeal articulations indicate normal hallucal orientation.  The Alpha distal metatarsals 4 and 5 and hallucal phalanx provide further manifestations of the systemic abnormalities of Cro-Magnon 1.
