This project investigates the locomotion of Miocene apes to understand the evolution of bipedalism in humans. Using advanced 3D imaging techniques, it analyzes the internal structure of ape forelimb bones, providing insights into their movement and behavior.
Understanding the locomotor behaviour of our Miocene ape ancestors is critical to reconstructing the evolution of walking on two feet, or bipedalism.
The Miocene (20-5 million years ago (Ma)) epoch is crucial because it is during this period that the morphological features of living great apes, including humans, were defined.
In this respect, Miocene apes show unique morphological combinations that are unlike any living primate, known as "mosaic morphologies", which include derived (ape-like) an…
