Dissertation Research: Functional Morphology of Primate Hip

摘要P.I.Farish Jenkins/Laura MacLatchy SBR-9300671几十年来，人类学家一直在研究人类和其他灵长类动物(包括他们的化石遗骸)髋关节的功能特性，试图了解人类运动-直立两足行走的独特模式和进化。行走是人类进化的早期阶段，当然是在大脑容量和能力大幅扩张之前，也是摆脱依赖森林的生活方式的关键。然而，迄今为止对髋关节功能的比较研究还不足以解决这一领域的一些争议。这个项目将使用一些新的三维量化技术，比以前尝试的更准确地记录灵长类物种之间的差异。这将为运动行为差异的功能解释提供基础，进而有助于更准确地描述灵长类化石的模式。这项研究也应该有一些临床意义。这位研究生和私家侦探非常有资格进行这项研究。*P\anthro\jfred\9300671.abs R t 8 R t u+3 R N F RX R EA(a\，a F\\.*\\，\\F aa v r p 6v x k“-=t=t^2 o q-O2=t=&amp；t oue o”-b C o to M N：t\t\A D 3 b at BT：u*h 1 b EA D*b t 7*3 R\.O o‘^Y X 1 3软件.s6+\？T 9 t G\K\t D D@BT(“”t((t 5！！！D(Times New Roman符号&amp；Arial#“h J e=Jonathan Friedlaender Jonathan Friedlaender

ABSTRACT P.I. Farish Jenkins/Laura MacLatchy SBR-9300671 For decades, the functional properties of the hip joint in humans and other primates (including their fossil remains) have been studied by anthropologists in an attempt to understand the peculiarities and evolution of our singular pattern of locomotion - erect bipedal walking. Walking evolved early in human evolution, certainly prior to the great expansion in brain capacity and competence, and was a key to leaving a life-style dependent on the forests. Yet the comparative studies of hip function to date have been inadequate to resolve a number of disputes in this area. This project will use some new 3-dimensional quantification techniques to document differences among primate species more accurately than has been attempted previously. These will provide a basis for functional interpretation of behavioral differences in locomotion which in turn will make for more accurate delineation of fossil primate patterns. The study should have some clinical relevance, as well. The graduate student and P.I. are extremely well qualified to carry out this research. *** P\anthro\jfried\9300671.abs R t 8 R t u+3 R N F rx R Ea (a \ ,a F \ \. *\ \ ,\ \ F aa v r p 6v x k " - = t = t ^2 o q ~ \ - o _2= t =& t o ue o " - b C o tO M N :t \t \A D 3 b At Bt : u * h 1 b Ea D * b t 7*3 R \. o o Õ ^Y X 1 3 SW .s6 + \ ? t 9 t G \ K \ | t D D @ Bt( " "t ( (t 5 ! ! !
