Trabecular bone structure correlates with hand posture and use in hominoids [PDF]
, 2013 Bone is capable of adapting during life in response to stress. Therefore, variation in locomotor and manipulative behaviours across extant hominoids may be reflected in differences in trabecular bone structure.
