The Decoupling Hypothesis: A new idea for the origin of hominid bipedalism [PDF]

, 2006
Theoretical adaptive landscapes and mathematical representations of key constraints of evolutionary and primate biology are used to propose a new hypothesis for the origin of hominid bipedalism.

Evolution of genomic imprinting in humans: Does bipedalism have a role?

, 2009
Recent studies have indicated that genomic imprinting is less conserved in human placenta and fetuses than in mice. Studies in mice confirm evolutionary predictions that imprinted genes have an important role in fetal growth via their effects on ...

Captive orangutan locomotion and its relation to the origin of human bipedalism

, 2009
One of the prominent questions in paleoanthropological studies is the origin of bipedalism. There have been several hypotheses presented on the ancestral type of locomotion that predated bipedalism.

Bipedalism is a Balancing Act: Talus Landmarking in Facultative Bipedal Primates [PDF]

Obligate bipedal locomotion, mandatorily walking on two legs, is vastly important as it is the fundamental precursor to the human lineage; it precedes tool usage and language.

Special issue: Australopithecus sediba --- The Anatomy of the Lower Limb Skeleton of Australopithecus sediba

PaleoAnthropology, 2018
The functional anatomy of the lower limb skeleton has featured prominently in reconstructions of locomotion in early hominins. Based on recent discoveries, many scholars now suggest that Plio-Pleistocene hominins experi-mented with different forms of ...

Tail autotomy affects bipedalism but not sprint performance in a cursorial Mediterranean lizard

, 2016
Running is essential in all terrestrial animals mainly for finding food and mates and escaping from predators. Lizards employ running in all their everyday functions, among which defense stands out.

Direct Effects of Bipedalism on Early Hominin Fetuses Stimulated Later Musical and Linguistic Evolution

We hypothesize that auditory and motor entrainment evolved in early hominin fetuses in direct response to their mothers' bipedal footsteps and, later, contributed to the evolution of music and language via two related processes.
