## Abstract Most quadrupedal mammals support a larger amount of body weight on their forelimbs compared with their hind limbs during locomotion, whereas most primates support more of their body weight on their hind limbs. Increased hind limb weight support is generally interpreted as an adaptation
## Abstract One of the most distinctive aspects of primate quadrupedal walking is the use of diagonal sequence footfalls in combination with diagonalβcouplets interlimb timing. Numerous hypotheses have been offered to explain why primates might have evolved this type of gait, yet this important que
Kinematic data on primate head and neck posture were collected by filming 29 primate species during locomotion. These were used to test whether head and neck posture are significant influences on basicranial flexion and whether the Frankfurt plane can legitimately be employed in paleoanthropological
