Abstract: A multivariate study in this paper shows significant differences in the calcaneum between Macaca arctoides and Macaca mulatta. The morphology of calcaneum suggests that the Macaca arctoides is more terrestrial than the Macaca mulatta.

Key words: Stump-tailed monkey (Macaca arctoides); Rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta); Calcaneum; Function and morphology; Multivariable analysis
