| Oct 4, 2021 at 4:08 | comment | added | Drakio-X | @Demigan . That's very interesting, do you have more information about the broken ribs? | |
| Oct 2, 2021 at 17:36 | comment | added | Demigan | On evolving new articulations: in humans who break a rib it can be hard to let it heal, especially when combined with lung diseases that cause a lot of coughing. If this happens continuously the body will actually evolve a full articulation there. If the bony protrusions are based on the ribs then an initially rudimentary musculo-tendon system could develop with it, if necessary as part of another mutation like humans with a functional polydactyly (nature.com/articles/s41467-019-10306-w) | |

| Aug 23, 2021 at 5:34 | comment | added | Drakio-X | @Pelinore I think the biggest problem of this is to know if new sinovial articulations are able to be developed from the "osteoderm", because currently I don't know about any specie which have made that. | |

| Aug 20, 2021 at 18:58 | comment | added | Drakio-X | @Pelinore . The mole's second thumb is a good example, but keeps the problem, is able to move from the base but don't have articulation to flex itself like real fingers. | |
| Aug 20, 2021 at 13:34 | comment | added | Pelinore | @Willk not really, that one is asking about the correct or best mechanical placement / morphology, this one wants to know how you get there through evolution, | |

| Aug 20, 2021 at 12:15 | comment | added | AlexP | That's Coelurosauravus = grandfather of hollow-tailed lizards. (Macaronic Greco-Latin.) **Coelosauruvus is meaningless; the first part may mean hollow lizard, but the **uvus part has no meaning. | |
| Aug 20, 2021 at 9:14 | comment | added | Pelinore | A good relatively recent evolutionary example of that ^ might be the moles 'extra thumb' // it can actually wiggle so seemingly is at least part way to having a new joint. | |
| Aug 20, 2021 at 7:23 | comment | added | Pelinore | "Apparently is relatively easy to evolve new boney structures" You're referencing something I said are you? :) I wouldn't exactly characterise it quite like that but it has happened many many many times (starting with the first limbless chordate with nothing but a spinal column & on ever since through every other addition to our skeletal structure), if it hadn't none of us would have the skeletons we do would we // & what has happened b4 can happen again, especially when you already have all the genetic coding for bone etc on hand. | |
