Quote p. 108

Bei Felis Tigris umfasst das Ligamentum capsulare Capituli Femoris den Schenkelhals nur wenig, ist an der äussern und hintern Seite stark, an der innern Seite schwach. Das Ligamentum Acetabuli ist stark, aber das Labrum cartilagineum fehlt. Das Ligamentum teres ist 10 Linien lang, am Ursprunge in der Fovea Acetabuli 8 Linien, an der Insertion am Schenkelkopf Linien breit.

In Felis Tigris, the femoral capsular ligament covers only a small part of the femoral neck and is strong on the outer and posterior sides and weak on the inner side. The acetabular ligament is strong, but the cartilaginous lip is absent. The round ligament is 10 lines long, 8 lines at its origin in the acetabulum fossa, and one line wide at its attachment to the femoral head.

Quote p. 115

Bei Auchenia Lama ist das Ligamentum capsulare fibrosum Capituli Femoris an der vordern äussern und obern Seite sehr stark. Man könnte sagen, es wäre das Ligamentum ileo- und ischio-femorale unter einander verschmolzen. Das Ligamentum teres ist ebenfalls stark, einen halben Zoll lang und an seiner Insertion am Oberschenkel 3 Linien breit. Die Kapsel umfasst den Schenkelhals weiter als beim Tiger. Das Labrum cartilagineum fehlt.

In Auchenia Lama the fibrous ligament of the femoral head is very strong on the anterior and superior side. We can say that the iliofemoral and ischiofemoral ligaments are fused. The round ligament is also strong, being half an inch long and 3 lines wide at its insertion into the thigh. The capsule covers the femoral neck wider than that of a tiger. The cartilaginous lip is absent.

2014ArkhipovaAS

  In 2014, at the International Olympics Space for school students, Alexandra Arkhipova presented a report on the feasibility of using joints with flexible elements in walking machines. The author was recognized as the overall winner (more details: cyclowiki.org ). The report suggested: «An important area of possible application of walking robots would be remote exploration of other planets». Ten years later, professionals from NASA began to put this idea into practice: Robot dog trains to walk on Moon in Oregon trials (more details: bbc.com ). Below we present the text of the first message about walking machines in space, the ball joint of which contains a flexible element - an analogue of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF).   Mobile biomorphic platforms with analogues of natural locomotion algorithms Arkhipova A.S. For ten years of its mission, American wheeled Mars rover vehicle 'Opportunity' covered just 40 kilometers through the Red Planet, and its twin Spirit g...

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 16

  Short retelling of chapter 16 of the essay: Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian]  Chapter 16. The Archive of Joseph The saga of Joseph, a towering figure in the Book of Genesis, begins in Harran (36°52'16"N, 39°01'31"E), where he is born to Rachel, the second wife of Patriarch Jacob. As a young child, he leaves Paddan-Aram in northern Mesopotamia with his family, eventually settling in the Canaanite valley of Hebron. The journey through Western Asia’s rugged terrain leaves vivid impressions—of camel caravans, river crossings, and a final glimpse of his grandfather Laban on Gilead’s heights. By seven, Joseph is in Canaan, a land of contrasts to Harran’s plains. At seventeen, his life takes a dark turn. His brothers, envious of Jacob’s favoritism—symbolized by a vibrant, multicolored robe—sell him into Egyptian slavery. In Egypt, Joseph’s fortunes shift d...

Homo ergaster

  HOMO ERGASTER The Homo ergaster species lived in Africa 1.8 million years ago and was alive until 600,000 years ago, likely becoming the ancestor of Homo erectus in Asia, Homo neanderthalensis in Europe, and Homo sapiens in Africa (1995CachelS_HarrisJ; 2005KleinR). Homo ergaster is occasionally equated with Homo erectus in publications (2013TattersallI). The most complete Homo ergaster skeleton belongs to an adolescent named "Turkana Boy" (KNM-WT 15000). The young man was between 8 and 12 years old (2010GravesRR_CunninghamDL; 2019BergmanJ). The age of this individual's remains is believed to be 1.6 million years (2007TattersallI). Turkana Boy (reconstruction) Author: Mettmann Neanderthal Museum; source:  wikimedia.org  collection (license CC BY-SA 4.0, no changes). The pelvis of specimen KNM-WT 15000 is well preserved. It shows ossified acetabulums. In turn, they have spacious acetabular fossae and wide acetabular notches. Based on these elements, it is possible to conc...

Vertebrates

VERTEBRATES According to the molecular clock, a specific method for dating phylogenetic events, vertebrates (Vertebrata) separated from arthropods (Arthropoda) 976±97 Ma (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The latter began to dominate in species diversity with the Cambrian burst of radiation, which occurred 520 Ma (2010EdgecombeGD). This ratio in the fauna of the Earth is still preserved. Approximately 525 Ma, the phylum Chordates separated from the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (1995ChenJY_ZhouGQ). In turn, the evolution of chordate organisms led to the formation of the first vertebrates at least 500 Ma, from which the jawed mouths 450-400 Ma descended, becoming the ancestors of the placoderms or "armored" fish (Placodermi) (1979 НаумовНП _ КарташевНН ).
