Scientists found parallels between the neural circuitry that guides locomotion in sea slugs and in more complex animals like mammals. Hundreds of millions of years before the evolution of animals with ...

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone structures through proteins present in the bone matrix. The findings of the study, ...

Previous studies have shown that protein expression of DOCK7 is increased in skeletal muscle biopsies from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), leading researchers from the University of ...

A study provides insights into the locomotion of the late Miocene hominoid Oreopithecus bambolii. The skeleton of O. bambolii, a hominoid from Europe dating from 8.3 to 6.7 million years ago in the ...

TEMPE, Ariz. – Discovery of a nearly intact 3.3 million year-old juvenile skeleton is filling an important gap in understanding the evolution of a species thought to be among the earliest direct ...

Three hundred million years ago, Earth was home to a strange creature the size of a small dog called Orobates pabsti. Most people won’t know its name, but scientists consider the animal to be a close ...
