To Run or to Carry: Derived Traits in Early Members of the Genus Homo Open
The purpose of this dissertation is to expand upon hypothesized selective pressures for three body acceleration and impact-resisting derived skeletal features seen in early members of the genus Homo. Historically, many of these skeletal st…

The role of plantigrady and heel-strike in the mechanics and energetics of human walking with implications for the evolution of the human foot Open
Human bipedal locomotion is characterized by a habitual heel-strike (HS) plantigrade gait, yet the significance of walking foot-posture is not well understood. To date, researchers have not fully investigated the costs of non-heel-strike (…
