Topic: Evolution of Bipedalism in Humans

1)Watson, J., Payne, R., Chamberlain, A., Jones, R., & Sellers, W. I. (January 01, 2009). The Kinematics of Load Carrying in Humans and Great Apes: Implications for the Evolution of Human Bipedalism. Folia Primatologica, 80, 5, 309-328. This article compares the carrying kinematics between humans and other primates to help determine the its role in the evolutionary shift to bipedalism.

2)Marks, J. (December 01, 1989). Genetic assimilation in the evolution of bipedalism. Human Evolution, 4, 6, 493-499. This article discusses the causes to which led to the ultimate conversion to bipedalism in humans.

3)Demes, B., & O'Neill, M. C. (January 01, 2013). Ground reaction forces and center of mass mechanics of bipedal capuchin monkeys: Implications for the evolution of human bipedalism. American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 150, 1, 76-86. This article studies the capuchin monkey, an animal that uses quadrupedalism and bipedalism in their natural environment and uses these findings to help determine the evolution of bidpedalism in humans.

4)Tardieu, C., Bonneau, N., Hecquet, J., Boulay, C., Marty, C., Legaye, J., & Duval-Beaupere, G. (August 01, 2013). How is sagittal balance acquired during bipedal gait acquisition? Comparison of neonatal and adult pelves in three dimensions. Evolutionary implications. Journal of Human Evolution, 65, 2, 209-222. This articles compares the pelvis of the fetus and the pelvis of an adult and uses these comparisons to help describe the development of sagittal balance and its role in human bipedalism.

5)Russo, G. A., & Kirk, E. C. (January 01, 2013). Foramen magnum position in bipedal mammals. Journal of Human Evolution, 65, 5, 656-70. This article compares the placement of the foramen magnum in quardupeds and bipeds to help explain the role of this placement in bipedal animals to help maintain balance.
