A combined study on the morphology of the human pelvis – leveraging genetics and deep learning on data from more than 31,000 individuals – reveals genetic links between pelvic structure and function, ...

The pelvis is often called the keystone of upright movement. It helps explain how human ancestors left life on all fours behind. Yet the “how” has stayed fuzzy for decades. A new Nature study led by ...

A study published in Nature identified two structural innovations in the upper human pelvis that enabled bipedalism and reported associated genetic programs active during development. Researchers from ...

All vertebrate species have a pelvis, but only humans use it for upright, two-legged walking. The evolution of the human pelvis, and our two-legged gait, dates back 5 million years, but the precise ...

What can you learn from a pelvis? Among the qualities that make humans unique are two physical features: our way of walking and running upright on two legs, and our newborn babies’ very large heads.

Early human relatives experienced risky childbirth due to pelvic shape, revealing deep evolutionary roots of birth difficulty.
