The relationships between low back pain and lumbar lordosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Background Context Clinicians regard lumbar lordotic curvature (LLC) with respect
to low back pain (LBP) in a contradictory fashion. The time-honored point of view is that LLC …

Phylogenomic analyses provide insights into primate evolution
Comparative analysis of primate genomes within a phylogenetic context is essential for
understanding the evolution of human genetic architecture and primate diversity. We present …

A new Miocene ape and locomotion in the ancestor of great apes and humans
Many ideas have been proposed to explain the origin of bipedalism in hominins and
suspension in great apes (hominids); however, fossil evidence has been lacking. It has been …

On the genetic basis of tail-loss evolution in humans and apes
The loss of the tail is among the most notable anatomical changes to have occurred along
the evolutionary lineage leading to humans and to the 'anthropomorphous apes',–, with a …
