Locomotion and posture from the common hominoid ancestor to fully modern hominins, with special reference to the last common panin/hominin ancestor
Based on our knowledge of locomotor biomechanics and ecology we predict the locomotion
and posture of the last common ancestors of (a) great and lesser apes and their close fossil …
