The behavioural ecology of hominin locomotion: what can we learn from landscapes of fear and primate terrestriality? by Philippa Hammond, René Bobe, René Bobe, René Bobe, Susana Carvalho, Susana Carvalho, Susana Carvalho

“…Furthermore, the difference between terms like “habitual” and “obligate” bipedality is not clearly defined and is often inferred from fossil features, rather than a description of each behaviour in vivo. Combining fossil and palaeoecological evidence with insights from behavioural ecology facilitates new interpretations of evolutionary pathways and highlights the importance of considering convergent evolution in the emergence of locomotor traits and characteristics. …”
