Manual Loading Distribution During Carrying Behaviors: Implications for the Evolution of the Hominin Hand [PDF]
The human hand is unparalleled amongst primates in its ability to manipulate objects forcefully and dexterously. Previous research has predominantly sought to explain the evolution of these capabilities through an adaptive relationship between more ...
