Wiley Embryogeny and Phylogeny of the Human Posture 2 - Biology

Explore the evolution of human movement in Embryogeny and Phylogeny of the Human Posture 2. This scientific work by Anne Dambricourt Malassei challenges the 200-year-old locomotion paradigm with new research and advancements in biological knowledge. As a paleoanthropologist at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the author provides a deep look into the straightening of the nervous system within the primate lineage. This text examines how these biological developments lead to human posture and investigates the potential future of our species. It builds upon her established research regarding embryonic and phylogenetic origins first demonstrated in 1987. This book is a significant resource for those studying biological sciences, specifically focusing on how evolutionary history and embryonic development shape the way humans stand and move. It offers a fresh perspective on a subject that has remained largely unchanged for centuries, making it a necessary addition to any scientific library focused on anthropology and biology.
