Different ways of ‘getting a grip’. How ancient human relatives in South Africa used their #hands reveals varying levels of dexterity & climbing ability. Study @ScienceAdvances led by @Samar__Syeda & Tracy Kivell. #hominins @AMNH tinyurl.com/mwk5eb63 & doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adt12…

Thrilled to announce our new paper on the evolution of the human inner ear otolithic system!
We find evolutionary divergences of the otolithic inner ear in humans and apes, with possible links to the evolution of postural behavior 👇👇

slowly but surely pumping out the chapters from my dissertation.... ⭐️
in our new study featured on the cover of @J_Exp_Biol 's latest issue, we discover that climbing force profiles are remarkably stereotyped across humans regardless of experience!

Our paper on dental morphology in Homo habilis is out in @NatureComms! We looked at the internal structure of H. habilis teeth, and found that most, including OH 7, are remarkably similar to Australopithecus @MPI_EVA_Leipzig

(1/5) Excited to share our new insights into primate shoulder range-of-motion (ROM), now available #OpenAccess in #ProcB! @nate_m_young @RainbowBiomech
We introduce an in silico model to explore the relationship among morphology, ROM, and behaviour
