Abstract

The article in the Journal of Anatomy examines the relationship between segmental bone lengths in the human body to determine if they follow a Lucas sequence pattern. The study presents data supporting the idea of a recurrence relationship number sequence in human body proportions, with specific ratios identified for different body segments. Detailed measurements and calculations for both male and female subsets are provided, aiming to stimulate further research and discussion in the field. The document offers insights into body segment proportions in relation to foot height for males and females, presenting data on ratios of tibia length to femur length and lower limb length to total height for both subsets.
