Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the comparative anatomy of the anthropoid, or 'human-like' primate, knee joint with particular focus on the gorilla, chimpanzee, and orangutan species. It compares the structures of these animals to that of humans, providing a comprehensive understanding of its form and function. The author thoroughly examines the muscular system and ligamentous apparatus surrounding the knee joint, and explores the variations in the articular surfaces and their implications for movement and locomotion. Beginning with an overview of the existing literature and discussing the historical context of the topic, this study sheds light on the evolution of the knee joint within the primate lineage, and the adaptations that have enabled these animals to adopt diverse modes of locomotion, including bipedalism in humans. The detailed analysis and comparisons made in this book provide valuable insights into the functional morphology of the primate knee joint, making it a significant contribution to the field of comparative anatomy and evolutionary biology.
