Sex differences in the pelvis did not evolve de novo in modern humans
It is commonly assumed that the strong sexual dimorphism of the human pelvis evolved for
delivering the relatively large human foetuses. Here we compare pelvic sex differences …

Sexual dimorphism and allometry in human scapula shape
Scapula shape is highly variable across humans and appears to be sexually dimorphic—
differing significantly between biological males and females. However, previous …

Testing the reliability of the rearticulation of osteological primate pelves in comparative morphological studies
The evolution of human pelvic form is primarily studied using disarticulated osteological
material of living and fossil primates that need rearticulation to approximate anatomical …

[PDF][PDF] Patterns of integration and modularity in the primate skeleton: a review
The question of how complex morphologies evolve, given constraints imposed by genetic,
developmental and functional factors, has been a topic of inquiry for many decades. In the …

Sex classification using the human sacrum: Geometric morphometrics versus conventional approaches
The human pelvis shows marked sexual dimorphism that stems from the conflicting selective
pressures of bipedal locomotion and parturition. The sacrum is thought to reflect this …

Modelling of human torso shape variation inferred by geometric morphometrics
Traditional body measurement techniques are commonly used to assess physical health;
however, these approaches do not fully represent the complex shape of the human body …

Did population differences in human pelvic form evolve by drift or selection?
Pelvic dimensions differ, on average, among modern human populations. Some recent
studies have reported that population differences in pelvic form evolved mainly by neutral …

An integrative approach to examining the influences of size, phylogeny, and locomotion on os coxae shape variation in primates
Objectives Aspects of three‐dimensional (3D) pelvis shape are associated with body size
and adaptations to locomotor behaviors in primates, while the effect of phylogeny is less well …
