Phylogenetic and biomechanical influences in the structural pattern of the femoral diaphysis among catarrhines by Quentin Cosnefroy, François Marchal, Laurence Bellaiche, Robert Carlier, Cyrille Cazeau, Kathia Chaumoître, Franck Lamberton, Antoine Perrier, Jean-Christophe Theil, Gilles Berillon

“…The interpretation of hominin locomotor behaviors, which is largely based on actualism, implies a clear understanding of form-function relationship between the biomechanics of the skeleton and the locomotor behaviors of extant primates. …”

Knuckle-walking and behavioural flexibility in great apes by Emily LR Tarrega-Saunders, Charlotte King, Alice M Roberts, Susannah KS Thorpe

“…This has been used to refute the idea that hominin bipedalism evolved from knuckle-walking. Extended wrist postures during knuckle-walking in chimpanzees compared with columnar wrist postures in gorillas were associated with chimpanzees’ more arboreal lifestyle, and are supposedly constrained by fundamental differences in carpal morphology. …”

La latéralité manuelle préhistorique, les outils et le langage by Natalie Uomini, John Gowlett

“…Language allowed hominins to teach and learn complex tool-making; and complex tool-use influenced the handedness of the species. …”

Comparative Cognitive Science and Convergent Evolution: Humans and Elephants by Ross Don

“…While concentration within the hominid and wider primate lines can tell us much about genetic constraints on human culture and cognition, at least as much attention should be paid to species in which patterns of evolved social cognition respond to problems faced by ancestral hominins. Elephants furnish a first and closest example.…”

A baboon walking on a treadmill: the use of positive reinforcement techniques to study bipedal walking in non-human primates by François Druelle, Pablo Molina-Vila

“…Experimental studies including cooperative animals that can freely move are likely to represent valuable experimental tools to fill important gaps of knowledge in the study of locomotion in general, and in the study of the acquisition of habitual bipedal walking in hominins.…”

Homo erectus adapted to steppe-desert climate extremes one million years ago by Julio Mercader, Pamela Akuku, Nicole Boivin, Alfredo Camacho, Tristan Carter, Siobhán Clarke, Arturo Cueva Temprana, Julien Favreau, Jennifer Galloway, Raquel Hernando, Haiping Huang, Stephen Hubbard, Jed O. Kaplan, Steve Larter, Stephen Magohe, Abdallah Mohamed, Aloyce Mwambwiga, Ayoola Oladele, Michael Petraglia, Patrick Roberts, Palmira Saladié, Abel Shikoni, Renzo Silva, María Soto, Dominica Stricklin, Degsew Z. Mekonnen, Wenran Zhao, Paul Durkin

“…These findings suggest archaic humans possessed an ecological flexibility previously attributed only to later hominins. This adaptability likely facilitated the expansion of Homo erectus into the arid regions of Africa and Eurasia, redefining their role as ecological generalists thriving in some of the most challenging landscapes of the Middle Pleistocene.…”

Automatic Identification and Location of Tunnel Lining Cracks by Pengyu Wang, Shuhong Wang, Alipujiang Jierula

“…By image processing technology and intelligent algorithm, the computer has a hominine visual perception system which understands, analyzes, and determines input image information, thus recognizing and detecting specific objectives. …”

Inactivation of the CMAH gene and deficiency of Neu5Gc play a role in human brain evolution by Yuxin Liu, Jinhong Li, Qicai Liu

“…Abstract During human evolution, some genes were lost or silenced from the genome of hominins. These missing genes might be the key to the evolution of humans’ unique cognitive skills. …”

Minimal age-related variation in bipedal behavior in Sapajus by Kristin A. Wright, Dorothy M. Fragaszy

“…Our understanding of how bipedalism evolved in hominins has been refined through studies of bipedal behavior in non-human primates, both in the wild and in the laboratory. …”

Imbalance of the Gut Microbiota May Be Associated with Missed Abortions: A Perspective Study from a General Hospital of Hunan Province by Bingsi Gao, Xingping Zhao, Xinyi Liu, Xuan Yang, Aiqian Zhang, Huan Huang, Yu-ligh Liou, Dabao Xu

“…Prevotella, Lactobacillus, and Paracoccus were significantly more abundant in the control group than in the case group at the genus level (P<0.05). (2) KEGG pathway enrichment analysis found significant differences in 27 signaling pathways and metabolic pathways between the two groups of differentially expressed genes (all adjusted P<0.05). (3) The positive rate of M. hominins (MH) detection in the control group was significantly higher in the MA group (χ2=7.853, P=0.004). …”

Que peut-on apprendre du développement locomoteur des catarrhiniens? Approche intégrative de la bipédie chez le babouin olive élevé en captivité by François Druelle, Gilles Berillon, Peter Aerts

“…Chercher à comprendre la transition évolutive de la bipédie chez les homininés amène à se questionner sur les caractéristiques anatomiques ancestrales prédisposant à la mise en place d'un tel mode locomoteur. …”
