Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims and Methods Advances in neonatal care have extended borderline survival to 22–24 post‐conceptional weeks. Present review discusses approaches for prolonging short pregnancies and prevention of serious morbidities in extremely premature infants born before 28 weeks of pregnancy.

Delegation to automaticity: the driving force for cognitive evolution?
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 The ability to delegate control over repetitive tasks from higher to lower neural centres may be a fundamental innovation in human cognition. Plausibly, the massive neurocomputational challenges associated with the mastery of balance during the evolution

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Variation in arboreality across gorilla populations is associated with systematic differences in manual digital lengths. Using a new dataset of linear metrics from the Bwindi mountain gorillas, we quantify metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in eastern and western gorilla populations across all five rays. Consistent with quantified behavioral differences,

Evolutionary aspects of bipedalism in hominins [PDF]
, 2013 The work deals with the human bipedality, the previous locomotor behavior and possible reasons for its occurrence. For help finding Ardipithecus ramidus, who is dating close to the split of chimpanzees and humans, is studied prebipedal pattern of ...

The Evolution of Bipedalism in Phylogenetic and Environmental Contexts [PDF]
Bipedalism is a key human adaptation, making its evolution a central topic in biological anthropology. To meet the mechanical demands of bipedalism, the human foot evolved significantly.

Communications Biology, 2023 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 lineage is still unresolved.

Growing together: Developmental integration and modularity in the human talus–calcaneus complex
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.This study investigates morphological integration and trabecular bone development in the human talus–calcaneus complex during postnatal ontogeny. The two bones exhibit strong integration throughout development, with differing bone volume fraction trajectories presumably reflecting their distinct functional roles during bipedal gait acquisition ...

Thermo-imaging bipedalism on the savanna: Chimpanzee locomotion at Fongoli, Senegal and implications for the evolution of hominin bipedalism [PDF]
, 2019 Pressures associated with savanna habitats, such as heat stress, are often cited to explain adaptive traits in hominins, like the evolution of bipedalism.

The influence of bipedalism on the development of humans [PDF]
, 2020 Glavni cilj diplomskega dela je predstaviti, kako je bipedalizem vplival na razvoj človeka. Bipedalizem je način gibanja po zadnjih dveh nogah. Šimpanzi, kot tudi druge opice, ga uporabljajo za določeno opravilo, na primer za nabiranje hrane iz višje ...
