Abstract

On the basis of published anatomical and skeletal anthropological surveys supplemented by published and unpublished commissioned radiologic surveys, the distribution of coracoclavicular joints in the world is described. The findings are in keeping with a focus having developed in central Asia in Pleistocene times. Thus, this anatomical variant can serve, by regression, as a marker for population migration from prehistoric times to the present.
