Australopithecus Afarensis' Limited Running Speed Unveiled in 3D Simulation Study
A recent study using advanced 3D simulations has uncovered the running limitations of Australopithecus afarensis, an ancient hominin that lived over three million years ago. The findings highlight that while the species was capable of running, it could not match the speed or efficiency of modern humans. Insights from muscle mass estimates and digit...
