In several instances small bones and even stone flakes have been wedged between the condyles of long bones (Figure 36). 9. Numerous long bones show signs of having been broken by a kind of spiral torsional stress. 10. In one analysis 80 per cent of over 50 baboon crania from Taung (21), Sterkfontein (22), and Makapansgat (15) show signs of damage by local- ized violence—such as a single depressed fracture, or perhaps 2 adjacent ones.

Some of the ungulate humeri have damaged epicondyles that fit some of the fracture depressions on the baboon crania. 11. There is some slight evidence of stone-collecting habits: a small number of quartz and quartzite pebbles and fragments have been found in the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Tobias, Phillip V.
