Un prima e dopo così non l'avete mai visto: lui è Rakus, un maschio di orango di Sumatra che vive in Indonesia. E si è "medicato" la ferita con una poltiglia di piante masticate: si tratta di automedicazione? è intenzionale? Alle 11.30 con @bettapalagi @Unipisa, e poi #MuseodeiFuturi

Our study on the Middle Pleistocene SdD2 metatarsal is now published in Scirep: rdcu.be/dBSWZ. We analyzed its shape and functional morphology using morphomap. Data and R code are also available on Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.10655437 #stressfracture #virtualanthropology
