Abstract
IN a recent article1 a hominid terminal toe phalanx was described (Olduvai Hominid 10). The bone was recovered from site FLK North (FLK N1), Upper Bed I, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. In that article morphological evidence was put forward to support the view that the bone belonged to an upright hominid with a plantigrade propulsive or striding gait. Further studies on the toe bone, and comparative series of toe bones, have included calculation of the D2 generalized distance coefficient of Mahalanobis and canonical variate analysis. The results entirely confirm the previous morphological assessment.
