Early origin for human-like precision grasping: a comparative study of pollical distal phalanges in fossil hominins.
<h4>Background</h4>The morphology of human pollical distal phalanges (PDP) closely reflects the adaptation of human hands for refined precision grip with pad-to-pad contact. The presence of these precision grip-related traits in the PDP of fossil hominins has been related to human-like h...
