由于骨通过组织的形成和吸收对施加的载荷作出反应，因此对骨内组织分布的分析提供了骨适应给定机械功能的证据。这些结构-功能关系的定义允许物理人类学家澄清现存灵长类动物对特定生态位的各种行为/形态适应。从这些信息中，最终可以推断出化石灵长类动物的行为和运动功能。本文回顾了显示骨的物理、几何和力学性质之间关系的研究，以便正在研究骨性质的研究人员了解从基本数据可以对结构和功能做出的许多解释。此外，这篇论文是一个尝试，以告知研究人员与灵长类动物的比较数据的灵长类动物骨骼的属性是可用的，虽然稀疏。
Since bone reacts to imposed loads by formation and resorption of tissue, analysis of tissue distribution within a bone provides evidence of the adaptation of that bone to a given mechanical function. Definition of these structure-function relationships permits the physical anthropologist to clarify the wide variety of behavioral/morphological adaptations to specific ecological niches in extant primates. From this information, behavior and locomotor function can ultimately be inferred in fossil primates. This paper reviews research which shows the relationships between the physical, geometrical and mechanical properties of bone, so that researchers who are investigating the properties of bone are aware of the numerous interpretations which may be made about structure and function from basic data. In addition, this paper is an attempt to apprise investigators working with primates that comparative data on the properties of primate bone are available, though sparse.
