A review of trabecular bone functional adaptation: what have we learned from trabecular analyses in extant hominoids and what can we apply to fossils?
TL Kivell - Journal of Anatomy, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Many of the unresolved debates in palaeoanthropology regarding evolution of particular
locomotor or manipulative behaviours are founded in differing opinions about the functional …

One small step: A review of Plio‐Pleistocene hominin foot evolution
Bipedalism is a hallmark of being human and the human foot is modified to reflect this
unique form of locomotion. Leonardo da Vinci is credited with calling the human foot “a …

Trabecular bone structural variation throughout the human lower limb
Trabecular bone is responsive to mechanical loading, and thus may be a useful tool for
interpreting past behaviour from fossil morphology. However, the ability to meaningfully …

Trabecular Evidence for a Human-Like Gait in Australopithecus africanus
Although the earliest known hominins were apparently upright bipeds, there has been mixed
evidence whether particular species of hominins including those in the genus …

Systemic patterns of trabecular bone across the human and chimpanzee skeleton
Aspects of trabecular bone architecture are thought to reflect regional loading of the
skeleton, and thus differ between primate taxa with different locomotor and postural modes …

An ontogenetic framework linking locomotion and trabecular bone architecture with applications for reconstructing hominin life history
The ontogeny of bipedal walking is considered uniquely challenging, due in part to the
balance requirements of single limb support. Thus, locomotor development in humans and …

Cortical and trabecular bone structure of the hominoid capitate
Morphological variation in the hominoid capitate has been linked to differences in habitual
locomotor activity due to its importance in movement and load transfer at the midcarpal joint …

Metacarpal trabecular bone varies with distinct hand‐positions used in hominid locomotion
Trabecular bone remodels during life in response to loading and thus should, at least in part,
reflect potential variation in the magnitude, frequency and direction of joint loading across …

Comparative analysis of trabecular bone structure and orientation in South African hominin tali
A Su, KJ Carlson - Journal of Human Evolution, 2017 - Elsevier
Tali of several hominin taxa are preserved in the fossil record and studies of the external
morphology of these often show a mosaic of human-like and ape-like features. This has …

Ecological divergence and talar morphology in gorillas
Gorillas occupy a variety of habitats from the west coast to eastern central Africa. These
habitats differ considerably in altitude, which has a pronounced effect on forest ecology …
