Data to replicate the results of the paper "Insertion sites in manual proximal phalanges of African apes and modern humans. Looking for behavioral traces in phalanges" The database includes the insertion sites sizes (mm2) for the A2 pulley in a sample of gorilla, chimpanzee and human hands. These areas in anthropology are called "flexor ridges" (FR). They were measured in 3D models of manual proximal phalanges 2-5 (PP2-PP5) It also includes the area (mm2) of the corresponding phalanges (PTA), the length of the first metacarpal of the corresponding hand (MC1_length) and the sex of the individuals, when known.
