In this study, we used 3D geometric morphometrics (3DGM) to quantify detailed aspects of the external shape and articular facet morphology of the proximal and distal ends of these\n                    <jats:italic>H. floresiensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    fibulae.

Shape variation was analyzed using principal component analysis of Procrustes coordinates, and mean differences among taxa were tested using a Procrustes ANOVA with a randomization procedure. Size comparisons were made using centroid size and tested via correlations with principal component scores. Results demonstrate that\n                    <jats:italic>H. floresiensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    fibulae possess the absolute smallest mean linear dimensions and mean centroid sizes among our comparative sample.
