Just wanting to talk about "hip dips" here. You have two bony protrusions, the greater trochanter from your femur and the illiac crest from your pelvis. Between them is little to no muscle tissue. It is a product of your human biology. It IS okay to have human features.

วันนี้พรีเซนงานวิจัย งานเยอะไม่แพ้ปู้เลย แหะๆ ยังไงก็มาพยายามด้วยกันนะคับ วันนี้ก็ซัดไปอีก 20 ข้องับ เกร็ดน่ารู้ : ระวัง!!อย่าให้กระดูกบริเวณเหล่านี้หัก เพราะจะทำให้กระดูกฟื้นตัวยาก : Head of femur (หัวกระดูกต้นขา) กับ Scaphoid (ชิ้น1ของกระดูกข้อมือ)

It just leads to a sort of bizarre thinking. If you already have a legend of giant, chimerical serpent-beasts, identifying huge mystery bones as belonging to them seems understandable.

But why on Earth would you find a random femur, and think up *this*? There is just no logic.

Madeline in Goth Ghost Hunter Garb á la . I usually don't put shoes on Mads no matter what...because her metatarsal bones are longer than either her tibia/fibula or her femur, but I made an exception for the spiked boots ^__^ https://t.co/zGN0TH19mv

The femur and tibia from locality 129 were the first clear evidence of bipedal fossils from Hadar, Ethiopia, in 1973. The strong lateral angulation of the femur shaft is a distinctive aspect of bipedal locomotion in humans and our fossil relatives.

A 2013 analysis by and coworkers put the Orrorin femur into context of Miocene apes, fossil hominins, and living apes. Chimpanzees and gorillas diverge strongly in their femoral morphology from their close living and fossil relatives.

The distal femur of an early like Australopithecus africanus is among the most humanlike parts of their anatomy. The angulation between the femoral shaft and condyles reflects habitual bipedal gait.

for visual aide, here are the 5 primary elements of a leg:

femur
tibia
patella
tendon
pain

The femoral morphology of represents a human pattern of walking and running with a relatively wider pelvis. The proximal femur evolved to solve this functional equation.

Scott Madsen has been working on a folded juvenile leg from right under jacket cap in weathered zone. Femur through ankle. vs case lower leg. Scott's photos. He is going after the rest of the adult braincase.
