I wrote about human childbirth and why it’s so brutal. is there an evolutionary dilemma acting on hips that causes a tight fetal fit? or is childbirth better explained by metabolic demands? my latest for Discover Magazine: discovermagazine.com/health/scienti…

🚨Hot off the press Science Magazine — Oldowan tools, butchered hippos, and Paranthropus (oh my!) 2.9 million-year-old artifacts and fossils from Nyayanga, Kenya shed light on the dawn of technology & raise questions about who made the first stone tools science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

It was an honor to be interviewed for the The New York Times on the #obstetrical #dilemma. It's difficult to capture the complexity of the debate and move it forward in a short article, so interested readers should definitely check out our recent pub doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.2… and...

Anna Warrener's forthcoming article in Evolutionary Anthropology. I can't wait to read it.

There’s been some Twitter buzz about it lately, but I encourage anyone who’s interested in the #obstetrical #dilemma or #obstetric #conundrum to read our new paper for themselves: doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.2….

Super excited to get started with exploring our remarkable birth process with the latest addition to Team Pelvis—Laura Watson! 😁

It has been a long way, but I am so happy that this work on energetics during pregnancy has now been published! I am very thankful for all the effort by everyone involded! Nicole M. Webb (PUSH@IT) doi.org/10.1093/emph/e… Institute of Evolutionary Medicine (IEM) University of Zurich

Wonderful Leibniz Mentoring retreat in Schwanenwerder ❤️ Excited to apply what I’ve learned to PUSH@IT in 2024!

Chimpanzees, like humans, must contend with a confined bony birth canal when giving birth. In humans, the problem was exacerbated by our unique form of upright walking since this led to a twisting of the bony birth canal. The “obstetrical dilemma” therefore evolved gradually over

🐒#Birth is a tight squeeze for #chimpanzees too! A new study in NatureEcoEvo shows that the 'obstetrical dilemma' evolved gradually over the course of primate evolution, rather than suddenly in humans as originally argued. 👉 sgn.one/sj9 📸 P. Rolands/Adobe Stock
