Description
The human pelvis represents a unique evolutionary compromise between bipedalism, childbirth, and locomotion. This comprehensive volume brings together leading researchers to examine pelvic evolution from multiple integrated perspectives.
Contributors analyze fossil evidence, comparative anatomy, biomechanical function, and developmental biology to illuminate how natural selection shaped pelvic morphology across human evolution. Topics include the obstetric dilemma, sexual dimorphism, adaptations for upright walking, and variation across modern human populations.
By synthesizing insights from evolutionary biology, physical anthropology, and functional morphology, this book provides a state-of-the-art understanding of one of the skeleton’s most informative regions for reconstructing human evolutionary history and understanding modern human variation.
