Flexion of digits 2\u20135 results in buttressing of the pads of the distal phalanges against the central palm and the palmar pads of the proximal phalanges. Additionally, adduction of the thenar eminence to abut the dorsal surface of the distal phalanges of digits 2 and 3 locks these digits into a solid configuration that may allow a transfer of energy through the thenar eminence to the wrist. To test the hypothesis of a performance advantage, we measured: (1) the forces and rate of change of acceleration (jerk) from maximum effort strikes of subjects striking with a fist and an open hand; (2) the static stiffness of the second metacarpo-phalangeal (MCP) joint in buttressed and unbuttressed fist postures; and (3) static force transfer from digits 2 and 3 to digit 1 also in buttressed and unbuttressed fist postures. We found that peak forces, force impulses and peak jerk did not differ between the closed fist and open palm strikes. However, the structure of the human fist provides buttressing that increases the stiffness of the second MCP joint by fourfold and, as a result of force transfer through the thenar eminence, more than doubles the ability of the proximal phalanges to transmit \u2018punching\u2019 force. Thus, the proportions of the human hand provide a performance advantage when striking with a fist. We propose that the derived proportions of hominin hands reflect, in part, sexual selection to improve fighting performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.075713","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,19]],"date-time":"2012-12-19T18:25:55Z","timestamp":1355941555000},"page":"236-244","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Protective buttressing of the human fist and the evolution of hominin hands"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"216","author":[{"given":"Michael H.","family":"Morgan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Utah School of Medicine, 30 N. 1900 E., Salt Lake City, UT 84132, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David R.","family":"Carrier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, University of Utah, 257 S. 1400 E., Salt Lake City, UT 84112, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"237","reference":[{"key":"2021042507053060100_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"225","DOI":"10.1016\/S0047-2484(02)00207-5","article-title":"Morphological affinities of the Australopithecus afarensis hand on the basis of manual proportions and relative thumb length","volume":"44","author":"Alba","year":"2003","journal-title":"J.
