Detailed explanation-3: -The femur is one of the most well-described bones of the human skeleton in fields ranging from clinical anatomy to forensic medicine. Because it is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, and thus, one of the most well-preserved in skeletal remains, it makes the greatest contribution to archaeology.

Detailed explanation-4: -The average femur weight for a human male is about 290 grams. The average weight of the femur for a human female is slightly less at about 260 grams.
