Modeling elastic properties in finite-element analysis: how much precision is needed to produce an accurate model?
- D. Strait, Q. Wang, +4 authors Biren A. Patel
- Materials Science, Medicine
- The anatomical record. Part A, Discoveries in…
- 1 April 2005
The influence of elastic properties on finite-element analysis was investigated using a finite-element model of a Macaca fascicularis skull. Four finite-element analyses were performed in which the… Expand
Origin of human bipedalism: The knuckle-walking hypothesis revisited.
- B. Richmond, D. Begun, D. Strait
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of physical anthropology
- 2001
Some of the most long-standing questions in paleoanthropology concern how and why human bipedalism evolved. Over the last century, many hypotheses have been offered on the mode of locomotion from… Expand
Early Hominin Foot Morphology Based on 1.5-Million-Year-Old Footprints from Ileret, Kenya
- M. Bennett, J. W. Harris, +9 authors S. González
- Geography, Medicine
- Science
- 27 February 2009
Hominin footprints offer evidence about gait and foot shape, but their scarcity, combined with an inadequate hominin fossil record, hampers research on the evolution of the human gait. Here, we… Expand
Early hominin diet included diverse terrestrial and aquatic animals 1.95 Ma in East Turkana, Kenya
- D. Braun, J. K. Harris, +6 authors M. Kibunjia
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 31 May 2010
The manufacture of stone tools and their use to access animal tissues by Pliocene hominins marks the origin of a key adaptation in human evolutionary history. Here we report an in situ archaeological… Expand
Early hominin limb proportions.
- B. Richmond, L. Aiello, B. Wood
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of human evolution
- 1 October 2002
Recent analyses and new fossil discoveries suggest that the evolution of hominin limb length proportions is complex, with evolutionary reversals and a decoupling of proportions within and between… Expand
Human evolution: taxonomy and paleobiology
- B. Wood, B. Richmond
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of anatomy
- 1 July 2000
This review begins by setting out the context and the scope of human evolution. Several classes of evidence, morphological, molecular, and genetic, support a particularly close relationship between… Expand
Body mass estimates of hominin fossils and the evolution of human body size.
- M. Grabowski, K. G. Hatala, W. Jungers, B. Richmond
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of human evolution
- 1 August 2015
Body size directly influences an animal's place in the natural world, including its energy requirements, home range size, relative brain size, locomotion, diet, life history, and behavior. Thus, an… Expand
Evidence that humans evolved from a knuckle-walking ancestor
- B. Richmond, D. Strait
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 23 March 2000
Bipedalism has traditionally been regarded as the fundamental adaptation that sets hominids apart from other primates. Fossil evidence demonstrates that by 4.1 million years ago, and perhaps earlier,… Expand
The feeding biomechanics and dietary ecology of Australopithecus africanus
- D. Strait, G. Weber, +17 authors A. Smith
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 17 February 2009
The African Plio-Pleistocene hominins known as australopiths evolved a distinctive craniofacial morphology that traditionally has been viewed as a dietary adaptation for feeding on either small, hard… Expand
