| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We compared skeletal growth patterns during the pre- and postnatal stages in the great apes and human to clarify developmental mechanism of lineage specific traits and to distinguish homoplastic skeletal features from homologous ones. Several interesting findings came out. Both human and chimpanzee exhibit positive allometric growth of the hind limb prenatally (relative to the forelimb). However, only human retains the positive allometric growth pattern postnatally to acquire its uniquely elongated hind limb. Femora of great apes reached more advanced growth stages at birth if their growth patterns are projected on the human growth trajectory. Growth patterns of the diaphyseal cortical bone distribution in the femur were unique in each of these species irrespective of locomotor similarity in the African apes.
