Shabumi Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Some of the jargon was over my head, but I gather that with the increased use of metallurgy, males became more one sided with the use of tools... hammers, spears, axes. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0112116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Like the first thing in the abstract? . . . Humeral Morphology. I'll have to read it in a while, over a while. Right now I'm reading about an expedition in search of Shambala cir. 1927. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabumi Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 yeah that was one of the ones I couldnt grasp. Would it be the shape of the humerous? Im guessing their jokes must have morphed drastically between the ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 mr. Shabumi, Morphology means shape. Humeral morphology means the shape of the humerus. Regards, SLAG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabumi Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thanks for the clarification, I was close. Maybe their humor didn't change that much. Gronk: I brought down a cave lion *this* big with one spear. Thac: Oh, yeah. Where is it then? Gronk: Well, when I went to pull out my spear, it got up, attacked me and ran off. I was lucky to get away with only this small scratch. *shows a scratch from picking berries* Thac: Yeah right. Without a pelt, it didnt happen.

Frosty Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Darned if this didn't come up on Nat Geo last night! I don't recall the name of the program but it was about a forensic examination of victims in Pompeii and one bit was an in depth examination of the, left, right, humeral morphology of some of the skeletons. The term came up as part of the examination. Too cool, I almost never have occasion to use a word or term right after learning it. Gotta LOVE a good sidetrack! Frosty The Lucky.
