The genetic basis of tail-loss evolution in humans and apes

2021-09-20

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The loss of the tail is one of the main anatomical evolutionary changes to have occurred along the lineage leading to humans and to the “anthropomorphous apes”<sup>1,2</sup>. This morphological reprogramming in the ancestral hominoids has been long considered to have accommodated a characteristic style of locomotion and contributed to the evolution of bipedalism in humans<sup>3–5</sup>....
