Evaluation of Bilateral Asymmetry in the Humerus of Human Skeletal Specimen

Figure 10

A comparison between male and female mid-shaft circumference of the humerus across the geographical regions. (a) The right male humerus is slightly thicker in all regions except Kenya where the right female is slightly thicker than the male one; r = 0.013 and p = 0.98. (b) The left male humerus is slightly thicker in all regions except Kenya where the left female is slightly thicker than the male one; r = -0.049 and p = 0.94. The error bars represent the standard deviation of measurements for number of specimens measured (n) per geographical location.
