“…Over the past 15 years, postcranial robusticity and shape have become accessible through the quantification of geometric cross‐sectional properties and these parameters are now frequently used for the analysis of hominin fossils (e.g., Ruff et al, ; Holt, ; Trinkaus and Ruff, ; Marchi et al, ; Shackelford, ; Cowgill, ; Marchi, ; Ruff, ; Harrington, ; Puymerail et al, ,b; Bleuze, ; Chevalier, ; Shaw and Stock, ). These properties supplement the abundant compilation of more traditionally used external data.…”
