Primate locomotion and evolution encompass the diverse adaptations that have enabled primates to negotiate complex arboreal environments. Throughout their evolutionary history, primates have acquired ...

When studying how fossil hominids moved, researchers usually analyse the morphology of bones — which is crucial for understanding the evolution of bipedalism — focusing mainly on muscle insertion ...

Although resting is one of the dominant behaviors of foregut-fermenting primates (i.e., colobines), their resting posture has rarely received attention. We hypothesize that colobines are more ...

One of the most fascinating periods in the evolution of the human lineage is the appearance of the first ancestors capable of ...

Trabecular bone—the spongy bone inside marrow cavities—adapts to its mechanical environment during growth and development. Trabecular structure can therefore be interpreted as a functional record of ...

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone ...

New 3D scans of a six-million-year-old Lufengpithecus' skull fossil clarify a potential evolutionary step towards bipedal locomotion. By Laura Baisas Published Jan 29, 2024 11:32 AM EST Get the ...

Introduction. Primate locomotion : toward a synergy of laboratory and field research / Evie Estelle Vereecke and Kristiaan D'Août -- Translating primate locomotor biomechanical variables from the ...

Q: What can living animals tell us about the behavior of extinct animals that we otherwise only know from fossils? A: When you look at the fossil record, all you have really is a pile of bones. It's a ...

A hierarchy of models guided by experimental results from zebrafish shows that coordinated, variable-speed locomotion can emerge from network-level interactions among interneuron populations with ...
