Fig. 4: Superimposition of the proximal femoral mean shape of recent humans (with or without a non-osteoporotic fracture) on the proximal femoral mean shape of the Prehistoric/Protohistoric group.
From: Evolutionary roots of the risk of hip fracture in humans
The superimposition of the mean shapes from posterior, anterior, and superior views. The colors indicate the magnitude of shape change (i.e., the distance between surfaces) between the mean shape of the Prehistoric/Protohistoric surface (white) and that of the superimposed one (recent with or without a fracture).
