Investigating crossed-symmetry pattern in children from the past

In biological anthropology, bilateral asymmetry in living adult samples is a well-studied field. During the last decade, researchers have become more interested its developmental characteristics individuals of both and past populations. It still upper limb that gets attention, as handedness effects on bones via biomechanical loading an obvious easily measurable marker asymmetry. The majority population exhibit right bias measurements lower behaves opposite due to performance weight- bearing. This pattern called crossed-symmetry. Despite marked role posture, examining emergence bone during growth has not been well-researched. To add information this field, present study investigated medieval Hungarian children from one country’s biggest anthropological collections.
