Stable isotope analyses of tooth enamel carbonate of large herbivores from the Tugen Hills deposits: Palaeoenvironmental context of the earliest Kenyan hominids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present stable isotope data of tooth enamel carbonate of large herbivores associated with early Kenyan hominids in order further to evaluate their environmental context.
Journal ArticleDOI
The arboreal origins of human bipedalism
TL;DR: The evidence is set out for the existence of a much earlier origin for bipedalism in a Miocene primate ancestor that was still predominantly tree-dwelling, and the notion that the common ancestor of great apes and humans was a knuckle-walking terrestrial species, as are gorillas and chimpanzees today is rejected.

Paleoanthropology’s uses of the bipedal criterion
TL;DR: By discussing Darwin’s hypotheses about the evolution of bipedalism, major theoretical issues that need to be addressed in the current debates on hominin evolution are identified and some of Darwin's remarks may be helpful for current debates in paleoanthropology.
The Miocene Hominoids and the Earliest Putative Hominids
TL;DR: Senut et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that bipedalism is probably the most reliable feature for defining hominids, taking into account detailed studies of Miocene apes and modern hominoids.
