ObjectivesThis study examines the sensitivity of the development of the dorsal metacarpal ridge (DMR) to the frequency of knuckle‐walking during ontogeny in chimpanzees, and compares the prevalence and prominence of the DMR in hominoids and baboons.Materials and MethodsWe characterized the type and frequency of quadrupedalism of wild chimpanzees of different ages from the Ngogo community, Uganda. Using museum specimens, we quantified third metacarpal DMR angle and height inPanindividuals of different developmental stages, and in adultGorilla,Pongo,Hylobates, andPapio.ResultsWhen terrestrial, all quadrupedalism consisted of knuckle‐walking, although older individuals knuckle‐walked more than younger. The total amount of quadrupedalism engaged in by different age groups while arboreal was consistent; however, knuckle usage while arboreally quadrupedal increased with age. The DMR ridge did not emerge inPanuntil older infancy, after the onset of knuckle‐walking, and reached prominence by the juvenile stage. The DMR angle increased significantly after juvenility but relative height did not. AdultPanandGorillahave more prevalent and prominent DMRs thanPapio; the DMR was rare inPongoand absent inHylobates.DiscussionThe timing of development of the DMR in chimpanzees supports it as a knuckle walking character, as does its occurrence in gorillas, and virtual absence in suspensoryorangutansandgibbons. The DMR in baboons differs in appearance and frequency from DMRs in African apes, and so differentiates knuckle‐walking from digitigrady in catarrhines. The relationship between the DMR and loading of a vertical hand while terrestrial deserves further study.
