人类两足行走的进化起源仍然知之甚少，但最近在非洲发现的原始人类股骨化石揭示了一些有趣的细节。特别重要的是由R. E. F.利基到东鲁道夫，肯尼亚1 -9。本文的目的是发现这些和其他化石股骨的高级灵长类动物之间的形态和功能的相似性，希望更多地揭示早期人类运动的本质。
THE evolutionary origins of human bipedalisms are still poorly understood, but recent discoveries of fossil hominid femora in Africa reveal some interesting details. Especially important are several new fossils discovered by the expedition led by R. E. F. Leakey to East Rudolf, Kenya1–9. The purpose of this paper is to find the morphological and functional affinities among higher primates of these and other fossil femora in the hope of revealing more about the nature of early hominid locomotion.
