## Abstract Field observations of bipedal posture and locomotion in wild chimpanzees (__Pan troglodytes__) can serve as key evidence for reconstructing the likely origins of bipedalism in the last prehominid human ancestor. This paper reports on a sample of bipedal bouts, recorded ad libitum, in wi

## Abstract Primates display high forelimb compliance (increased elbow joint yield) compared to most other mammals. Forelimb compliance, which is especially marked among arboreal primates, moderates vertical oscillations of the body and peak vertical forces and may represent a basal adaptation of p
## Abstract In addition to evidence for bipedality in some fossil taxa, molar enamel thickness is among the few characters distinguishing (thickβenameled) hominins from the (thinβenameled) African apes. Despite the importance of enamel thickness in taxonomic discussions and a long history of schola
## Abstract Understanding the evolutionary origins of hemispheric specialization remains a topic of considerable interest in a variety of scientific disciplines. Whether nonhuman primates exhibit populationβlevel limb preferences continues to be a controversial topic. In this study, limb preference
