Abstract
A decrease in robusticity has been said to characterize the emergence of modern humans. Analysis of humeral and femoral diaphyses, using a biomechanical cross-sectional geometry methodology, shows that there is a mosaic pattern of changes in robusticity. There is a decrease in humeral robusticity, especially in the Near East. Once body proportions are taken into account, there is only a suggestion of a decrease in lower limb robusticity.
