How did mammals go from sprawling to an upright position? Postdoc Robert Brocklehurst & Professor Stephanie Pierce have the answer and it's a surprising winding, dramatic one!
Head over heels: How mammals stood up and took over the world
For more than a century, scientists have puzzled over a fundamental mystery in our evolutionary history: how did mammals go from sprawling like lizards to striding like cats and dogs?…
