A New Experimental Protocol for Assessing Hominoid Assisted Arboreal Bipedalism

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 1, January 2026.
A new experimental protocol for investigating arboreal bipedalism in hominoids was successfully used by all available age and sex classes of chimpanzees in the case study. This protocol identifies two forms of arboreal bipedalism: forward facing and sideways, and allows for the collection of gait parameter data for future comparative studies.
