“…Some studies are less strictly anthropological and focus on the determination of the age at death of an individual (Szilvá ssy, 1980;Walker and Lovejoy, 1985;Webb and Suchey, 1985;Stout and Paine, 1992) or the sex through forensic analysis of the clavicle, in whole or in part (Jit and Singh, 1966;Steel, 1966;Kaur and Jit, 1990;Murphy, 1994;Zhang and Han, 1994;Zhang and Tian, 2001). Relatively few studies have approached Primate clavicular morphology from a comparative or functional perspective (e.g., Schultz, 1930;Olivier, 1953;Cave, 1961;Jenkins, 1974;Fleagle, 1978;Jenkins et al, 1978;Ljunggren, 1979;Harrington et al, 1993;Voisin, 2000aVoisin, , 2000bVoisin, , 2001Voisin, , 2004Voisin and Balzeau, 2004).…”
