Does lifestyle change humeral bone structure?
<p>The humerus (plural ‘humeri’) is the upper arm bone that runs between a person’s shoulder and elbow, and as such, is a region of the body that is vital to all hand-based, manual tasks. So, by examining changes in humeral structure, archaeologists can obtain a better picture of an individual’s past. This analysis aids in discerning the specific physical activities that likely contributed to alterations in bone structure. When the surrounding archaeological evidence — or context — that the skeletal remains are found in is very clear, archaeologists therefore already know whether the individuals were nomadic or agricultural. They can also then check whether there are any noticeable patterns in the structural differences in the humeri from each group.</p>
