  • The relationship between digit independence and digital sesamoids in humans and a proposal of a new digital sesamoid evolutionary hypothesis 
    Yammine, Kaissar (2019-07-04)
    Digital sesamoids are found in the metapodial‐phalangeal joints of most mammals and quadrupedal tetrapods, yet their functional significance is still unclear. During primate evolution, a slight decline in their frequency ...
