Captive orangutan locomotion and its relation to the origin of human bipedalism [PDF]
, 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.

Direct Effects of Bipedalism on Early Hominin Fetuses Stimulated Later Musical and Linguistic Evolution [PDF]
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.

Evolution of Hominin Forelimbs in the Context of Bipedalism [PDF]
, 2019 The evolution of bipedalism in the hominin lineage coincided with a major shift in the locomotion function of the forelimbs, from producing external forces in contact with the substrate in the arboreal and quadrupedal last common ancestor with ...

Analyzing instantaneous energy in bipedal walking of baboons : a Model for exploring the evolutionary transition toward efficient bipedalism in hominins [PDF]
: ObjectiveNon-human primates exhibit bipedal walking with a typical "bent-hip, bent-knee" posture, incurring additional energy costs as shown by studies using electromyography and mechanical analysis.

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.

On the simple calculation of walking efficiency without kinematic information for its convenient use
Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2019 Background Since walking is a daily activity not to require the maximal effort in healthy populations, a very few universal bio-parameters and/or methods have been defined to evaluate individual walking characteristics in those populations. A concept of “

Mechanics of bipedalism : an exploration of skeletal morphology and force plate analysis [PDF]
, 2007 There are several theories on how humans learned to walk, and while these all address the adaptations needed for walking, none adequately describes how our early ancestors developed the mechanism to walk.
