Evolution and function of the hominin forefoot [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance A critical step in the evolutionary history leading to the origins of humankind was the adoption of habitual bipedal locomotion by our hominin ancestors. We have identified novel bony shape variables in the forefoot across extant anthropoids and extinct hominins that are linked functionally to the ...

Hominin life history: reconstruction and evolution [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, 2008
AbstractIn this review we attempt to reconstruct the evolutionary history of hominin life history from extant and fossil evidence. We utilize demographic life history theory and distinguish life history variables, traits such as weaning, age at sexual maturity, and life span, from life history‐related variables such as body mass, brain growth, and ...

Evolution of the hominin knee and ankle

Journal of Human Evolution, 2017
The dispersal of the genus Homo out of Africa approximately 1.8 million years ago (Ma) has been understood within the context of changes in diet, behavior, and bipedal locomotor efficiency. While various morphological characteristics of the knee and ankle joints are considered part of a suite of traits indicative of, and functionally related to ...
