The mark of captivity: plastic responses in the ankle bone of a wild ungulate (Sus scrofa)

The mark of captivity: plastic responses in the ankle bone of a wild ungulate (Sus scrofa)

Deciphering the plastic (non-heritable) changes induced by human control over wild animals in the archaeological record is challenging. We hypothesized that changes in locomotor behaviour in a wild ungulate due to mobility control could be quantified in the bone anatomy. To test this, we experimente...
