Extended Data Fig. 3: Mean comparisons of the juvenile and hypothetical adult KNM-WT 15000 thorax with modern humans and the Kebara 2 Neanderthal.
From: Rib cage anatomy in Homo erectus suggests a recent evolutionary origin of modern human body shape
a, The KNM-WT 15000 thorax (red) superimposed on the modern human juvenile mean in Procrustes registration. b, The hypothetical adult KNM-WT 15000 thorax (red) superimposed on the modern human adult mean in Procrustes registration. c, The hypothetical adult KNM-WT 15000 thorax (red) superimposed on the Kebara 2 Neanderthal thorax reconstruction in Procrustes registration. Note the similar (more horizontal) orientation of the ribs in these two specimens due to reduced rib torsion.
