Which came first in human evolution: bipedalism or large brains? What is Homo sapiens idaltu? How did Homo sapiens first appear on Earth? What did Homo floresiensis evolve from? Who were the first hominids to use tools? How old are Homo sapiens?
We set out to first characterise how key skeletal traits of the hindlimbs of these animals evolved, building a nice pictorial and phylogenetic “atlas” of sundry bumps and squiggles on the bones, and mapping how the distribution of those traits compares across groups of early theropods in a ...
how did avian bipedalism evolve?). Added benefits are that you too can explore this theme in a hands-on way, and you can talk with us about it in person. That continues all week (i.e. until Saturday evening); I’ll be around from Thursday afternoon onwards, too. Kids of all ages...
Short message: the large number of pectoral limb muscles in living tetrapods probably didn’t evolve until limbs with digits evolved, but that number might go back to the common ancestor of all tetrapods, rather than more recently. BUT there are strong hints that earlier tetrapodomorph “fish...
often of medium-large size and rather robust build; but also the celebrity dinosaurs, Spinosauridae, are embedded within Megalosauroidea. We set out to first characterise how key skeletal traits of the hindlimbs of these animals evolved, building a nice pictorial and phylogenetic “atlas” of ...
