The current narrative review has explored known associations between foot shape, foot
posture, and foot conditions during running. The artificial intelligence was found to be a …

The evolution of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) is one of the most impactful adaptations
in the hominin foot that emerged with bipedalism. When and how it evolved in the human …

Neanderthal foot bone proportions and morphology are mostly indistinguishable from those
of Homo sapiens, with the exception of several distinct Neanderthal features in the talus. The …

Here, we provide a complete, updated, and illustrated inventory, as well as a comprehensive
study, of the tarsals (rearfoot) recovered from the Middle Pleistocene site of Sima de los …

Sex determination is a pivotal step in forensic and bioarchaeological fields. Generally,
scholars focus on metric or qualitative morphological features, but in the last few years …

The adoption of bipedalism is a key benchmark in human evolution that has impacted talar
morphology. Here, we investigate talar morphological variability in extinct and extant …

Osteological collections are an essential source of information on human biological and
cultural variability, providing insights about developmental, evolutionary, and biocultural …

The foot has played a prominent role in evaluating early hominin locomotion. The
calcaneus, in particular, plays an important role in weight-bearing. Although the calcanei of …

This work aims to test accuracy and comparability of 3D models of human skeletal fibulae
generated by clinical CT and laser scanner virtual acquisitions. Mesh topology …

Objectives The study of the development of human bipedalism can provide a unique
perspective on the evolution of morphology and behavior across species. To generate new …
