Correspondingly, identification of skeletal correlates in the hands of apes reflecting knuckle-walking or other hand postures, has been the focus of an enormous amount of research within paleoanthropology (e.g. Why, when and how many times this peculiar locomotor hand posture evolved has been the subject of intense scrutiny over the last 100 years in paleoanthropology (see the reviews of Begun, 2010 Crompton et al., 2008 Richmond et al., 2001 among others). Most importantly, however, these new 3-D data serve as a fundamental dataset with which evaluation of proposed musculoskeletal adaptations for knuckle-walking can be tested.Ĭhimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas are unique among primates in their predominant use of knuckle-walking hand postures when terrestrial. In macaques, maximum metacarpophalangeal extension during digitigrady and palmigrady overlapped for most digits, highlighting additional complexity in the interpretation of skeletal features that may be related to limiting metacarpophalangeal motion. These data also reveal that maximum metacarpophalangeal extension angles during knuckle-walking (26–59 deg) were generally higher than previously considered. Metacarpophalangeal joint motion displayed distinct differences between digits in both species, likely related to the timing of force application. Maximum extension of the chimpanzee wrist was slight (5–20 deg) and generally overlapped with macaque digitigrady.
Notably, chimpanzees utilized more wrist ulnar deviation than any macaque hand posture. These results clarify the unique characteristics of, and commonalities between, knuckle-walking and digitigrady/palmigrady in multiple planes of motion. This study presents the first 3-D kinematic data of the wrist, hand and metacarpophalangeal joints during knuckle-walking in chimpanzees and in macaques using digitigrade and palmigrade hand postures. This lack of data has limited the testability of proposed adaptations for knuckle-walking in African apes. Nor do any comparative 3-D data exist for hand postures used during quadrupedalism in monkeys. Yet, despite numerous studies documenting morphological characteristics potentially associated with knuckle-walking, little quantitative three-dimensional (3-D) data exist of forelimb motion during knuckle-walking.
The fee is included in the price you see in the Lease to Own dialog.The origin and evolution of knuckle-walking has long been a key focus in understanding African ape, including human, origins.
