dc.description.abstractDemonstration of a size-based influence on relative biomechanical neck length of the femur predicts relatively longer necks for smaller femurs. Fossil hominids through the middle Pleistocene appear to have relatively longer femur necks than expected from this relation, excepting the two small australopithecine females. It is suggested that this variation results from smaller crania at birth in the fossils, and the possibility is raised that australopithecine populations were characterized by marked brain size differences at birth.en_US
