solely related to running, such as the decoupling of the thorax( Bramble and Lieberman 2004, 349), which may help identify these behaviours in the fossil record. Another avenue of study should be the effect of running behaviour on the internal structure of bone. Trabecular bone responds more sensitively to changes in mechanical loading than cortical bone( Ortner 2003, 22) and running behaviours may be
morphology. Combining analyses of outer bone and inner bone morphology in relation to running may give more insight or evidence in support of the endurance running hypothesis in the future.
