humerus to radius ratio (MEN) :        100%  :  74.074%              (ie. the radius is 74.074% the size of the humerus for men)
humerus to radius ratio (WOMEN):    100%  :  73.088%              (ie. the radius is 73.088% the size of the humerus for women)


humerus to ulna ratio (MEN) :        100%  :   79.271 %               (ie. the ulna is 79.271% the size of the humerus for men)
humerus to ulna ratio (WOMEN):    100%  :   78.536%                (ie. the ulna is 78.536% the size of the humerus for women)

it would appear that men have a relatively shorter humerus compared to women from this study. but its only 1% difference.

ie if men and women in this study had the same size humerus the male's ulna would be 0.24cm longer. its really a tiny difference.

I don't think we need to worry about this issue between men and women.

yeah but do you know how disproportionate its going to be when the humerus is lengthened? gunna look like a tranny
