One of the best websites for anthropology is this Utexas which gives
alot of details.
However, it fails to give the most important index of all of
anthropology.
--- quoting from ---
http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~bramblet/ant301/seven.html#anchor1840119

Intermembral index = [(humerus + radius) x 100]/)femur + tibia)
Humerofemoral index = (humerus x 100)/femur
Brachial index = (radius x 100)/humerus
Crural index = (tibia x 100)/femur
--- end quoting four indexes of anthropology ---

I am going to call this index the finger-toe index. It is the most
important index in
all of anthropology for it is based on the idea that humanity evolved
as a "throwing
ape". Homo sapiens was created from a "root-stock of ape species" as a
throwing
ape. Throwing is what made us a "higher species" from the ape species
starting some
10 million years ago. And the dynamo of change focuses mostly on the
hands linked
to the feet. So the most important index of all the bones is the
length of hand bones
to feet bones. They are linked because they co-evolved. More changes
had to occurr
in the foot bones than in the hand bones to end up as Homo sapiens. A
better name
for our species would have been Homo thrower rather than sapiens.

Hand to Foot Index

I am 1700 mm from head to toe

Mine hand length is 190 mm
thumb I call #1 finger and is 70 mm
little finger I call #5 and is 65 mm
#2 finger = 75 mm
#3 finger = 83 mm
#4 finger = 79 mm

Mine foot length is 260 mm
big toe, I call #1 toe = 59 mm
little toe, I call #5 toe = 40 mm
#2 toe = 55 mm
#3 toe = 47 mm
#4 toe = 47 mm

My Weight 63 kg

Basically, if you take any individual human or chimpanzee, or gorilla,
or orangutan, or bonobo
and accurately provide the numbers as what I provided above, that
those numbers forms a
unique species set of numbers. You are not going to find any ape that
has relative lengths of
fingers to toes that is given by any human. There will be a range of
numbers for humans, but
the range of numbers for humans is unique compared to the range for a
given ape species.

Yesterday I was at the library looking for pictures in books of ape
hands and fingers and
foot and toes. The chimpanzee foot is a mirror reflection of its hand,
albeit the larger size of
hand, and likewise for gorilla and orangutan. But the human hand has
lost all of its symmetry
to its foot. And the obvious reason is because apes live in trees and
the function of the foot
is similar to the function of the hand whilst in trees. For humans,
tree living went away once
throwing began some 10 million years ago, and the foot no longer
served any function for living
in trees but had to serve the function of "enhancement of throwing".

If given 10 million years and given a foot and hand shaped like a
modern day chimpanzee.
And if this chimp species were to evolve in the next 10 million years
on Earth to become
a thrower, then its foot has to evolve and change the most to physics-
wise cope with throwing.

Apparently, no anthropologist has bothered to list the numbers for the
Hand Foot Index for
all the ape species. Apparently I am the first. Now I do not need to
provide the total
length from head to toe of 1700 mm, nor the weight of 63 kg but those
are good measures
to add for overall framework of an individual. So that in comparing
say a gorilla numbers with
mine own numbers if there was a gorilla of 1700 mm and 63 kg would be
even more useful
in comparison.

When a science has indexes, what the science must do, then, is find
what is the most important
index of that particular science. Anthropologists were lackadasiacal
on this score. Look at
all the indexes given in Anthropology to date. Is any one of them
"very important" ? No, and
to date, none were important at all. Anthropologists should have
asked-- well, we have
several indexes such as those given by the U Texas website, but what
is the most
important index of all indexes for Anthropology? That is what
anthropologists should have
asked and looked into.

What is the index that sets apart ape species from human species. And
that is the Hand
to Foot index of its fingers and toes. All the apes are tree livers.
Humans traded tree living
for throwing, and the proof is the Hand to Foot Index.
