摘要
The Lower Pleistocene TD6 level at the Gran Dolma site in the Sierra de Atapuerca (Burgos Spain) has yielded nine ribs that represent a minimum of three individuals of the species Homo antecessor We present a detailed morphological and metric study of these costal elements including the siding and anatomical position of all of the rib remains The adult or nearly adult ribs are also metrically compared with other fossil hominins and with modern comparative samples The costal elements recovered to date from the TD6 level at Gran Dolina can neither confirm nor reject the hypothesis that H antecessor had a large thorax similar to that of Neandertals However the fragmentary evidence of the H antecessor thoracic skeleton is not inconsistent with this suggestion based on other skeletal elements such as clavicles
