Klappentext zu „Reconstructing Mobility “
Assembles a collection of experts to provide a current account of different approaches (e.g., traditional, comparative and experimental) being applied to study mobility. Moreover, the book aims to stimulate new theoretical perspectives that adopt a holistic view of the interaction among intrinsic (i.e. skeletal) and extrinsic (i.e. environmental) factors that influence differential expression of mobility. Since the environment undoubtedly impacts mobility of a wide variety of animals, insights into human mobility, as a concept, can be improved by extending approaches to investigating comparable environmental influences on mobility in animals in general. The book teases apart environmental effects that transcend typical categories (e.g., coastal versus inland, mountainous versus level, arboreal versus terrestrial). Such an approach, when coupled with a new emphasis on mobility as types of activities rather than activity levels, offers a fresh, insightful perspective on mobility and how it might affect the musculoskeletal system.

Autoren-Porträt
Kristian Carlson received his PhD from Indiana University, Bloomington (USA) in 2002. Following this, he spent three years as a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Anatomical Sciences at Stony Brook University, NY (USA), and one year in a postdoctoral position in the Anthropologisches Institute and Museum at the University of Zürich (Switzerland). He was an Assistant Professor of Anatomy at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine (USA) for two years before joining the Institute for Human Evolution (IHE) at the University of the Witwatersrand (South Africa) in 2009 as a Senior Researcher. His research interests include modelling form-function relationships in limb bones of primates, both extinct and extant. He utilizes a variety of approaches to tackle questions about the impact that behaviours have on skeletal form. These include experimental assessments of primate locomotion (i.e., kinematics and kinetics), focusing on transverse forces and the behaviours that accentuate them (e.g., turning); traditional comparative studies of ape limb bone cross-sectional properties, including leading analyses of habituated chimpanzee skeletons; and mouse model research aimed at testing the explicit predictions constructed from his work with primates. Ultimately the supported predictions from extant-based models are applicable to extinct primates, including hominins, in order to infer the nature of their behavioral repertoires, particularly the emphasis on arboreal locomotion in their evolutionary history.Key publications include: ? Investigating the form-function interface in African apes - relationships between principal moments of area and positional behaviors in femoral and humeral diaphyses?, American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2005; ?Mediolateral forces associated with quadrupedal gaits of lemurids?, Journal of Zoology, London, 2005 (with B Demes and TM Franz); ?Cutting corners: the dynamics of turning behaviors in two primate

Damiano Marchi received his PhD from the University of Pisa, Italy in 2004. He spent five and a half years as Visiting Assistant Professor at Duke University, USA, teaching and conducting research on human and living primate locomotory postcranial functional morphology. He is currently a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute for Human Evolution, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. His research focuses on biomechanics of the hindlimb, human and non-human primate functional morphology, and mobility of Holocene European populations. Current projects include research on investigating metatarsal structure in modern great apes, humans and australopithecines to better understand the pattern of acquisition of the human-like pronated distal foot in early hominins (in collaboration with MSM Drapeau, University of Montreal, Canada); investigation of mobility patterns of Southern Italian Late Upper Paleolithic populations through the study of their postcranial skeletal morphology (in collaboration with F Martini, Università di Firenze, Italy); investigation of the structure of distal tibia and fibula, and of the forefoot (metatarsals) of shod and unshod modern human populations to assess the effect of footwear on mediolateral stability of the ankle and foot.
Key publications include: ?Cross-sectional geometry of the hand and foot of Hominoidea: its relationships with locomotor behavior?, Journal of Human Evolution, 2005; ?A biomechanical approach to the reconstruction of activity patterns in Neolithic Western Liguria (Italy)?, American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2006 (in collaboration with in collaboration SV Sparacello, BM Holt, and V Formicola); ?Relative strength of the tibia and fibula and locomotor behavior in hominoids?, Journal of Human evolution, 2007; ?Mobility and subsistence economy: A diachronic comparison between two groups settled in the same geographical area (Liguria, Italy)?, American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2008 (in collaboration with VS Sparacello); ?Relationships between lower limb cross-sectional geometry and mobility: the case of a Neolithic sample from Italy?, American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2008; ?Changes in skeletal robusticity in an Iron Age agropastoral group: the Samnites from the Alfedena necropolis (Abruzzo, Central Italy)?, American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2011 (in collaboration with VS Sparacello, OM Pearson, A Coppa); ?Variation in fibular robusticity reflects variation in mobility patterns?, Journal of Human Evolution, 2011 (in collaboration with CN Shaw).
