Une grosse enquête sur la bipédie humaine est en cours, alors si vous êtes anthropologue ou primatologue, n’hésitez pas à y répondre !! On a besoin de tous les avis ! 💡

#SFDP2025 3oct Julian Karoui-Canedo @palevoprim.bsky.social a présenté Comprendre les comportements locomoteurs des premiers hominines à partir de la courbure de l’ulna : implications pour la reconstitution du répertoire locomoteur du dernier ancêtre commun Panini/Hominini @cnrsecologie.bsky.social

👋 Félicitations à Zoé Nowicki @palevoprim.bsky.social qui a reçu le prix du doctorat de la #SFDP2025 ! @cnrsecologie.bsky.social @univpoitiers.bsky.social

Several members of our network are in Poitiers this week to present their research at the #SFDP2025 meetings 💪.

Ensuite Zoé Nowicki @palevoprim.bsky.social a présenté la "Covariation de caractères fémoraux en lien
avec la bipédie chez les #hominoïdes actuels" @univpoitiers.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social @emfpoitiers.bsky.social

Hier, 🧐découverte de la Vallée des singes 🐵 Pour la 1ère journée de la #SFDP2025 (La Société Francophone de Primatologie) à Poitiers @palevoprim.bsky.social @emfpoitiers.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social @univpoitiers.bsky.social @grandpoitiers.bsky.social

#ESHE2025
Amelie Beaudet ‘A century after the Taung child: New insights into the evolutionary history of Australopithecus’
High var at Sterkfontein– signature of adaptive radiation? Brain sulci patterns, arteries, face shape, inner ear, verts– exploring morph disparity!!
Fantastic last talk ♥️!!!

#ESHE2025
Martin Haeusler ‘Statistical shape modelling (SSM) reveals significant taxonomic variability in early Pleistocene hominin pelves from South Africa’
Diversity at Sterkfontein🤩!
GMM & metaspecies shape modelling: Sts 14 & StW 431 prob taxonomically diff
StW 573: what is preserved is v diff!

Thank you to everyone who came to see our poster and to the members of our network who attended the #ESHE2025 in force.

#ESHE2025
Alicia Blasi-Toccacceli ‘Morpho-functional analysis of new hominin-associated shoulder remains …Shungura, Ethiopia’
NEW SHUNGURA: OMO VE 3-10063 assoc shoulder 1.84 Ma – Aus or Homo?
GMM of D hum shaft & art, glenoid fossa shape & angle: new fossil is earliest adult HOMO shoulder 😍

#ESHE2025
Ashleigh Wiseman ‘Primate locomotor diversity and the evolution of hominin bipedalism’
Building musculoskeletal models to simulate movement. Application to apes, eHoms, humans- phylo analysis of diffs; Au Prometheus as outlier. 5 unique clusters of locomotor profiles .
Amazing visuals 😍!

#ESHE2025
Zoe Nowicki ‘Revisiting femoral anteversion in hominoids: A new approach using 3D data’
Is femoral anteversion human-specific & related to bip?
2 methods to measure anteversion angle; excluding fem head critical to show human-ape diffs (fem head adds noise for being unique in humans) !

We encourage you to participate in our survey on bipedalism: questions.huma-num.fr/v4/s/dv57r1

Pleased to be in paris for the @eshesociety.bsky.social meetings to present our poster and invite participants to take part in our survey on bipedalism :)

Our research group on bipedalism is now on bluesky
