Long bones have adapted for stability and strength and to bear the weight of the body. The perfect example of a long bone would be the femur. The femur has a long shaft, known as the diaphysis, which is made up of compact bone. The epiphysis, or the ends of each bone are filled mostly with spongy bone except at the very outer layers and the femoral head. The trabeculae of the bones are oriented along stress lines, or areas where the stress placed on bone (like the weight of your body as you land a jump on your skateboard) can be directed out from your pelvis, down the femoral head, along the femoral neck and on down the shaft of the bone to end up being transferred your down towards your feet. So, in essence the long bones of the body are made perfectly for the transferring of stressors, or kinetic force along pathways that will do less damage, and cushion an impact.

Adaptation of apes?

Another adaptation is that their teeth have adapted to handle fallback foods which they must rely on in times of food scarcity.
