Is femoral anteversion an osteological correlate of hominin bipedality?
While extant hominoids are capable of bipedalism both in trees and on the ground, only humans exhibit skeletal adaptations for this mode of locomotion. Terrestrial bipedalism induces specific constraints on the pelvis, spine, and hindlimbs, particularly the femur. However, there is much debate abou...

| Περίληψη: | While extant hominoids are capable of bipedalism both in trees and on the ground, only humans exhibit skeletal adaptations for this mode of locomotion. Terrestrial bipedalism induces specific constraints on the pelvis, spine, and hindlimbs, particularly the femur. However, there is much debate about the nature of bipedalism and its terrestrial component in fossil hominins underscoring the evolutionary interest of identifying relevant osteological correlates. One of them would be femoral ante... |
