Abstract

Nevertheless, the different segments of the same human body do fit together, usually more or less harmoniously, to produce a whole human being with some symmetry and regularity of features. Since the parts must fit together, the different bones cannot vary in size with complete independence. Certain parts must agree in size more closely than others. For example, a person can hardly have a very long ulna and a very short radius; he can, however, have long fingers and short bones in the forearm. Some sets of bones must agree in length and width, but they could conceivably vary quite independently of many other sets of bones.
