Natural selection, genetic drift, and trait correlation shaped hominin midfoot evolution
Nature CommunicationsThe foot has undergone significant morphological change throughout the hominin lineage as our extinct relatives evolved to walk upright. The midfoot displays key adaptations for terrestrial bipedal locomotion, and is therefore considered a target of ...

The expression of bilateral asymmetry in the hands and humeri: a methodological comparison
, 2009 The population-level preference for the use of the right hand is one of the defining characteristics of Homo sapiens and as such, its evolutionary origins within the human genus remain a topic of interest.

Evolution of Hominin Forelimbs in the Context of Bipedalism
, 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 ...
