- Project title
- Internal micro-anatomy of fossil ribs
- Description of the project
- Evolutionary variation in the human thorax has only received its deserved attention recently. This is because ribs usually appear fragmented in the fossil record, which poses a methodological challenge for the quantification of both ribs' internal and external anatomy. Rib external anatomy has been studied for fossils, but the study of internal rib anatomy, which would provide additional information about biomechanical aspects of the ribcage, usually requires destructive techniques that are not approved for fossils. This project aims to use micro Computed Tomography (m-CT) techniques, a non-destructive method that allows for studying some internal bone parameters, to study costal density in Neanderthals and both recent and fossil modern humans, to infer biomechanical thorax differences.
