A team of natural scientists, musculoskeletal specialists, and evolutionary biologists affiliated with several institutions in the U.K., working with a colleague from the Netherlands, has found via ...

When studying how fossil hominids moved, researchers usually analyze the morphology of bones—which is crucial for understanding the evolution of bipedalism—focusing mainly on muscle insertion sites.

Many virtual environments (VEs) will give the user a sense of motion either in the form of passive transport in a "vehicle" or through active locomotor movements on a supporting surface. The latter ...
