An anthropologist has inferred from osteological remains that a culture included mostly left-handed spear-throwing female hunters. Remembering that bones are dynamic and respond to the stresses and strains placed on them, describe the specific skeletal evidence that implicates specific patterns of muscle activity that would lead them to this conclusion.

The adoption of bipedalism involved profound changes in the vertebral column and musculature due to the altered loading conditions and motion requirements. Thoroughly discuss the structural adaptations and changes in the vertebral column and musculature of birds and humans that allow bipedal posture.

Determining age at death for sub-adults is achieved by looking at the degree of epiphyseal fusion in several bones from the same individual. Forensic Anthropologists create a chart to illustrate the overlap between the ages at which various fusions occur: Example: the proximal end of the humerus fuses between the ages of 14-23 years old. The distal end of the humerus fuses between the ages of 11-18 years old. If the recovered human remains humerus has an proximal end that is almost but not quite fused and a distal end that is fused solid, then we can estimate the age at death as between 14-18 years old.

One of the special qualities of vertebrate bone is that it is a living tissue that permits continuous remodeling. Explain how the structure of bone allows this remodeling to happen.
What are the three types of skeletons found in animals? For one of them, describe how the muscles are arranged around the skeleton and how contractions of the muscles result in movement of the skeleton.
