Oral History Interview with Kenneth Ruff, October 7, 2005
No full textTranscript of an oral interview with Kenneth J. Ruff. Ruff joined the Army Air Forces while attending college in Missouri in 1942. He describes all the places he trained as a pilot, from Texas to Wisconsin and Oklahoma. He eventually was selected to be a flight instructor. He ferried one aircraft to Australia and when he returned, he went to Reno, Nevada for more flight training. Upon completion, Ruff ferried an airplane to India via Brazil and Africa. Once he arrived in India, his job then consisted of flying material in C-46 transport planes over "the Hump" to China. He flew 72 missions from India to China over the Himilaya Mountains. Ruff shares several experiences of his while flying in China and India.

Relative fibular strength and locomotor behavior in KNM-WT 15000 and OH 35
No full textRelative fibular/tibial strength has been demonstrated to vary with locomotor behavior among anthropoid
primates. In this study fibular/tibial strength was determined in KNM-WT 15000, a juvenile Homo
erectus individual (1.5 Ma), and in OH 35, a Homo habilis (or possibly Paranthropus boisei) individual
(1.8 Ma), and compared to that of adult modern humans (n 1⁄4 79), chimpanzees (n 1⁄4 16), gorillas (n 1⁄4 16)
and orangutans (n 1⁄4 11). Ontogenetic changes in fibular/tibial strength were also analyzed due to KNMWT
15000's juvenile status. Cross-sectional properties at midshaft were derived from multi-plane
radiography and external contours, or CT scanning. Comparisons of log-transformed fibular/tibial polar
second moment of area and anteroposterior (A-P) and mediolateral (M-L) second moments of area were
carried out between extant species. Fossil deviations from each extant taxon's mean proportion were
calculated in standard deviation (SD) units for that taxon. Great apes differ significantly from modern
humans, with relatively stronger fibulae, particularly in the M-L plane. KNM-WT 15000 is more than 2 SD
from all great apes (3 SD in the M-L plane) and within 1 SD of modern humans for almost all variables.
This is not a result of its age, as fibular/tibial strength slightly decreases with age (i.e., becomes less like
that of great apes) in humans. OH 35 falls within 1 SD of chimpanzees and orangutans for the majority of
cross-sectional proportions, but more than 1 SD from humans. KNM-WT 15000 is demonstrated to be
fully modern, complimenting other indications of complete terrestrial bipedality and possibly showing
adaptations for endurance running. OH 35 has some human-like features; however, the relative strength
of the two bones aligns the specimen with great apes, consistent with a significant degree of arboreality,
in particular, vertical climbing
