Phalanges
(Redirected from Proximal phalanges)
Phalanges are bones. There are 14 of them in each hand and foot. The phalanges (distal, middle and proximal) in the hand are the fingers and those in the feet are the toes. Human toe bones are usually shorter than the bones in the hand.

Morphological comparisons of pollical distal phalanges in African apes, extant humans and selected hominins. Although with several morphological differences, all the features related to refined manipulation in modern humans are already present in the late Miocene Orrorin.
