Challenges and perspectives on functional interpretations of australopith postcrania and the reconstruction of hominin locomotion
M Cazenave, TL Kivell - Journal of Human Evolution, 2023 - Elsevier
In 1994, Hunt published the 'postural feeding hypothesis'—a seminal paper on the origins of
hominin bipedalism—founded on the detailed study of chimpanzee positional behavior and …

Unique foot posture in Neanderthals reflects their body mass and high mechanical stress
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 …

Trabecular bone ontogeny tracks neural development and life history among humans and non-human primates
Trabecular bone—the spongy bone inside marrow cavities—adapts to its mechanical
environment during growth and development. Trabecular structure can therefore be …

[HTML][HTML] A computational framework for canonical holistic morphometric analysis of trabecular bone
Bone is a remarkable, living tissue that functionally adapts to external loading. Therefore,
bone shape and internal structure carry information relevant to many disciplines, including …

A new early hominin calcaneus from Kromdraai (South Africa)
Abstract The Kromdraai site in South Africa has yielded numerous early hominin fossils
since 1938. As a part of recent excavations within Unit P, a largely complete early hominin …

Morphologies in‐between: The impact of the first steps on the human talus
Objective The development of bipedalism is a very complex activity that contributes to
shaping the anatomy of the foot. The talus, which starts ossifying in utero, may account for …
