早期人类的脚通常是非常零碎的保存，他们的建筑方法仍然是有限的，并受到争议。本研究提出了一种灵长类动物脚的结构分析，实现了脱臼的骨骼。它是基于关节区域之间几何关系的角度分析。我们研究了灵长类动物足的纵向结构，并提出了一些来自哈达尔（埃塞俄比亚）的南方古猿阿法种标本和来自坦桑尼亚的能人奥杜瓦伊（Olduvai）人猿8足的结果。建筑学分析认为南方古猿阿法种缺乏纵向的内侧弓，它们的关节处于中立位置。相反，最近的OH8标本在内侧和外侧都呈拱形。
Early hominid feet are often very fragmentary preserved and their architectural approaches stayed limited and subject to controversy. This study proposes an architectural analysis of the primate foot realised on dislocated skeleton. It is based on the angular analysis of geometrical relationships between the joint areas. We investigate the longitudinal structure of the primate foot and we present the results concerning some Australopithecus afarensis specimens from Hadar (Ethiopia) and the Homo habilis Olduvai Hominid 8 foot (Tanzania). The architectural analysis argues for the lack of a longitudinal medial arch in A. afarensis, their joints being in neutral position. On the contrary, the more recent OH8 specimen is arched both medially and laterally.
