Can growth in captivity alter the calcaneal microanatomy of a wild ungulate? by Cottereau, Romain, Ortiz, Katia, Locatelli, Yann, Houssaye, Alexandra, Cucchi, Thomas

“…Despite having greater bone volume, the calcaneus of the Mesolithic wild boars displays a very similar microanatomy compared to the present-day hunted or captive wild boars. These results suggest that calcaneal microanatomy is more affected by population differences than by locomotor variation. …”
