Whole‐bone shape of hominoid manual proximal phalanges
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 245-270, February 2026.Abstract Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two‐dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole‐bone three‐dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have ...

Complex topography and human evolution: the missing link [PDF]
, 2013 Why did humans walk upright? Previous models based on adaptations to forest or savannah are challenged here in favour of physical incentives presented by steep rugged terrain—the kind of tectonically varied landscape that has produced early hominin ...

Burn Selection: How Fire Injury Shaped Human Evolution
BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 2, February 2026.Intentional fire use exposed humans and their ancestors to high‐temperature burn injury, a risk rare in other species, bringing major survival benefits and technologies but also repeated exposure to extreme heat. The Burn Selection Hypothesis reframes this cost of fire mastery as a unique selective pressure, which shaped our evolution.

Effect of Stump Length on Postural Steadiness During Quiet Stance in Unilateral Trans-Tibial Amputee [PDF]
Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences, 2010 Although force platform based Center of pressure (COP) measures of postural steadiness have been used to test the diagnostic significance of various cerebellar and labyrinthine lesions, but very few literature are available on amputees.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Just-so stories are prominent in human evolution literature because of our tendency to create simple progressionist narratives about our “special” place in nature, despite the fact that these stories are almost exclusively based on hard tissue data.

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 197-221, February 2026.When travelling and feeding in the canopy, the western lowland gorillas engaged in bipedal locomotion likely as a strategy to mitigate the risk of falling at the cost of increased energy expenditure. Abstract Western lowland gorillas are the largest and most sexually dimorphic ape that habitually exploits arboreal environments.

Anatomía comparada del retropié, caracteres derivados del tipo de locomoción [PDF]
, 1997 Tras una breve reseña a los primeros hallazgos paleontológicos que nos ayudaron a conocer como se desplazaban nuestro antecesores, y que nos lleva a afirmar que los homínidos practicaban la bipedestación hace 3,5 Ma.

From Finger Taps to Footsteps: Gait as a Model for Investigating and Training Rhythmic Abilities
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1556, Issue 1, February 2026.Motor rhythmic abilities, like auditory–motor synchronization, are often assessed using finger‐tapping tasks. Here, we propose gait as a richer, more ecologically valid alternative, which engages the whole body, is continuous, and taps into both automatic and voluntary control.

The evolution of bipedalism in australopithecines [PDF]
, 2012 U ovome seminaru bavim se evolucijom bipedalnog hoda, anatomskim promjenama koje su prethodile njegovom razvoju kao i fosilnim dokazima koji potvrđuju bipedalizam kod australopitecina.
