| 词条 | Third metacarpal styloid process |
| 释义 |
The third metacarpal styloid process enables the hand bone to lock into the wrist bones, allowing for greater amounts of pressure to be applied to the wrist and hand from a grasping thumb and fingers. It allows humans the dexterity and strength to make and use complex tools. This unique anatomical feature separates humans from apes and other nonhuman primates, and is not seen in human fossils older than 1.8 million years.[1] References1. ^{{cite journal|doi=10.1073/pnas.1316014110|title=Early Pleistocene third metacarpal from Kenya and the evolution of modern human-like hand morphology | pmid=24344276 | pmc=3890866|volume=111|issue=1|date=Jan 2014|journal=Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A|pages=121–4}} {{musculoskeletal-stub}} 1 : Bones of the hand |
