When replaced within the evolutive process of species, humans are primates, hominids sharing a close evolutionary relationship with the great apes (gibbons, orangutans, gorillas and chimpanzees). The chimpanzee (s) delete is our closest living relative with whom we share a recent common ancestor. This common ancestor is neither a chimp nor a gorilla, nor a human. The study of fossil specimens and comparative anatomy helped determine the time of split between the main evolutive species. It is generally believed that the chimpanzee-human split occurred about seven to 10 million years ago [1] and [2]. More or less preserved fossil specimens were recovered and give us a clearer picture of the human evolutionary line. The Australopithecus afarensis currently name lucy, which lived between two and three million years ago, was discovered within Eastern Africa and is among the most famous and complete fossils ever found.
Despite partial similarities between lateral and medial menisci in human beings, they display differences which better highlight the specific lateral meniscus pathology. We believed it was interesting to go back in time in order to investigate the anatomic and pathophysiological specificity of the lateral meniscus through the study of the comparative anatomy and the embryologic development.-
