Evaluation of Bilateral Asymmetry in the Humerus of Human Skeletal Specimen

Figure 5

The male and female right and left humeral weight across the geographical locations. (a) The right humerus is heavier than the corresponding left one in all locations; correlation coefficient r = 0.94 and p = 0.019. (b) The right humerus is slightly heavier than the left one in Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda while the left humerus is slightly heavier than the right one in Congo and Kenya; r = 0.99 and p = 0.00004. The error bars represent the standard deviation of measurements for number of specimens measured (n) per geographical location.
