Disentangling Cro-Magnon: The Pedal Remains
Résumé
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.
