Cranio-cervical integration and the role of posture: From extant anthropoids to Neanderthals
The cranio-cervical complex plays a central role in balancing the head, transmitting forces, and integrating posture with locomotor demands. Recent redundancy analyses (RDA) of anthropid primates reveal that posture exerts a strong and significant effect on cranio-cervical morphology. Importantly,...

| Izvleček: | The cranio-cervical complex plays a central role in balancing the head, transmitting forces, and integrating posture with locomotor demands. Recent redundancy analyses (RDA) of anthropid primates reveal that posture exerts a strong and significant effect on cranio-cervical morphology. Importantly, this influence follows a common pattern across all primate groups examined: although species differ markedly in their mean morphology, the way in which morphology covaries with posture is conserved... |
