    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Human Evolution
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • The coraco-clavicular joint is an anatomical structure whose prevalence and significance are not widely recognized.
    • Understanding its presence and genetic basis is crucial for anatomical and evolutionary studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish the coraco-clavicular joint as a normal human anatomical variant.
    • To investigate the genetic inheritance pattern of this joint.
    • To explore its potential evolutionary significance.

    Main Methods:

    • Anatomical observation and analysis across diverse populations.
    • Genetic studies to determine inheritance patterns.

    Main Results:

    • The coraco-clavicular joint is a common anatomical finding in humans of all races.

  • Its presence does not cause adverse effects or provide apparent advantages.
  • The joint exhibits a simple Mendelian inheritance pattern.
  • Evidence suggests it is an evolutionary adaptation related to shoulder joint mobility.

    • Conclusions:

    • The coraco-clavicular joint should be recognized as a normal anatomical variation.
    • Its simple Mendelian inheritance points to a clear genetic basis.
    • The joint likely represents an evolutionary adaptation to complex human shoulder movements.
