Abstract Surprisingly, the pelvis of Neandertal males shares more features with the human female pelvis than with the human male pelvis. Many of the differences between the Neandertal male pelvis and that of the Homo sapiens male seem to stem from the unusual anterior position of the acetabula (hip joints) in H. sapiens males and the subsequent increase in the horizontal anteroposterior distance between the joint and the line of gravity.

Abstract The maritime Phoenician civilization from the Levant transformed the entire Mediterranean during the first millennium bce1,2,3.
