Comparative kinetics of humans and non-human primates during vertical climbing.

Climbing represents a critical behavior in the context of primate evolution. However, anatomically modern human populations are considered ill-suited for climbing. This adaptation can be attributed to the evolution of striding bipedalism, redirecting anatomical traits away from efficient climbing.

How Pendular Is Human Brachiation? When Form Does Not Follow Function.

Brachiation is a form of suspensory locomotion observed only in Primates. The non-human hominoids (e.g.
