Comment la connaissance de la diversité posturo-locomotrice des primates a-t-elle transformé la compréhension de celle des hominines ? by Mathilde Lequin, François Marchal

“…With a history and philosophy of science angle, this article aims to analyze the contribution of primatology to the transformation of the theoretical framework used in paleoanthropology to think about the evolution of bipedalism. While fossil discoveries are often presented as the driving force of theoretical change in this discipline, we show that studies on primate locomotor diversity have also played a fundamental role in deconstructing certain interpretative schemes frequently used in the analysis of hominin fossil remains. …”
