the strength of limb bones relative to body size, measured from cross-sectional geometry, used to track declining mechanical loading through the genus Homo.

In paleoanthropology, postcranial robusticity refers to the strength of limb bones relative to body size, measured from cross-sectional geometry, used to track declining mechanical loading through the genus Homo. This meaning comes from Ruff (1993) in American Journal of Physical Anthropology.[1]
