The human foot exhibits a range of normal anatomical variants known as accessory ossicles, small extra bone fragments that arise from unfused secondary ossification centres. Although most ossicles ...
The vertebrate ear is a remarkable structure. Tightly encapsulated within the densest bone of the skeleton, it comprises the smallest elements of the vertebrate skeleton (auditory ossicles) and gives ...
Researchers at Lund University have generated human mini bones in the lab which mirror the composition and function of human bone. The results published in Science Translational Medicine detail this ...
Human skeletons are often described in neat textbook numbers, but real bodies are far messier and more interesting. Extra bones, tiny or substantial, are scattered through the population, quietly ...
Archaeologists from the University of Bradford have examined ear ossicles taken from the skeletons of 20 juveniles, excavated from an 18th and 19th century burial ground in Blackburn. They were chosen ...
EVOLUTION HAS NO foresight. But occasionally it flukes something ideally suited to develop into something else. Biologists call this preadaptation, and it seems to explain the existence of three small ...
