Evaluation of Bilateral Asymmetry in the Humerus of Human Skeletal Specimen

Figure 12

Comparison between male and female right and left humeral torsion across the geographical regions. (a) The right female torsion angle is more than the male one in Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda while the right male torsion is more than the female one in Burundi and Congo; r = -0.14 and p = 0.82. (b) The left female torsion is more than the male one in Congo, Kenya, and Uganda while the left male torsion is more than the female one in Rwanda and Burundi; r = -0.87 and p = 0.055. The error bars represent the standard deviation of measurements for number of specimens measured (n) per geographical location.
