Estimating stature from knee height for persons 60 to 90 years of age.
TL;DR: Stature is an important variable in several indices of nutritional status that are applicable to elderly persons, however, it is difficult or impossible to measure in the nonambulatory elderly person, or its value may be spurious if measured in those elderly persons with excessive spinal curvature.

Morphological adaptation to climate in modern and fossil hominids
TL;DR: Application of the simple thermoregulatory principle of increasing and decreasing body surface area/body mass in hot and cold climates, respectively, may explain the major systematic differences in body form between living and fossil hominids inhabiting tropical and higher latitude regions of the world.

TL;DR: Newly excavated postcranial material from Dmanisi comprising a partial skeleton of an adolescent individual, associated with skull D2700/D2735, and the remains from three adult individuals shows that the postc Cranial anatomy of the D manisi hominins has a surprising mosaic of primitive and derived features.

Postcranial robusticity in Homo. II: Humeral bilateral asymmetry and bone plasticity
TL;DR: Skeletal samples of normal modern Euroamericans, prehistoric and early historic Amerindians, and prehistoric Japanese show moderate median asymmetry in diaphyseal cross-sectional areas and polar second moments of area, whereas the tennis-player sample, with pronounced unilateral physical activity, exhibits median asymmetries of 28-57% in the same parameters.

Mathematical Contributions to the Theory of Evolution. V. On the Reconstruction of the Stature of Prehistoric Races
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that it is possible to reconstruct the parts of an extinct race from a knowledge of the size of a few organs or bones, when complete measurements have been or can be made for an allied and still extant race.
