Talk:Levator claviculae muscle

Leonardo
(Loukas et al. 2008, p 308) mentions a drawing by Leonardo as the first documented observation of the levator claviculae. I found this drawing on Commons but I'm not sure if (1) this is the drawing mentioned in the reference and (2) the drawing is actually depicting the muscle. --Fama Clamosa (talk) 15:46, 8 July 2010 (UTC)


 * On second thought, this is my only candidate, so I'm adding it to the article. --Fama Clamosa (talk) 18:12, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Darwin
Charles Darwin mentions this muscle. However, his bimana/quadrumana division is obsolete. --Fama Clamosa (talk) 16:13, 8 July 2010 (UTC) [...] In a single male subject, having a strong bodily frame, and well-formed skull, no less than seven muscular variations were observed, all of which plainly represented muscles proper to various kinds of apes. This man, for instance, had on both sides of his neck a true and powerful 'levator claviculae', such as is found in all kinds of apes, and which is said to occur in about one out of sixty human subjects.
