Anterior diaphyseal curvature of the femur and tibia has biomechanical consequences during unloaded uphill locomotion

The biomechanics of limb bone curvature are complex, and though anterior curvature clearly exhibits some relationship with behavior, the mechanisms shaping it and its biomechanical purpose remain unclear. Among both Neanderthals and humans, anterior limb bone curvature correlates strongly with other...
