IGM Colloquium: Prof. Shreyas Mandre, Brown University

Published: — Functional interpretation for transverse arches of human foot About 8 million years ago, the common ancestor of the human and chimpanzee lineages had feet without arches and with a structure similar to our hands. In this talk, we consider the function of the transverse arch of the human foot as a structural element and juxtapose the results in the context of fossilized feet from human ancestors.
