Candidate ancestral adaptations include monkey-like arboreal or … The results of this study show that researchers need to reevaluate all posited knuckle-walking features and reconsider their efficacy as indicators of knuckle-walking behavior in extant and … This gait offers a protective mechanism for the delicate fingers and palms, … The modern debate surrounding its evolution is concerned … · bipedalism has traditionally been regarded as the fundamental adaptation that sets hominids apart from other primates. · here, we report new experimental results showing that wild chimpanzees walk bipedally more often and carry more items when transporting valuable, unpredictable resources … Knuckle walking likely evolved in african apes as an adaptation to their mixed arboreal and terrestrial lifestyles. · here, we argue that it was adopted by african apes as a means of ameliorating the consequences of repetitive impact loadings on the soft and hard tissues of the forelimb by … Over the last century, many hypotheses have been offered on the mode of locomotion from which bipedalism originated. · adaptations to vertical climbing in the panins and gorillines would therefore have increased the likelihood of quadrupedal knuckle-walking becoming selected as the least … · explore the specialized anatomy behind this unique form of primate locomotion and the scientific debate over its connection to our own human ancestors. · the evolution of knuckle-walking has profound implications for our understanding of the emergence of bipedalism.
