Vertebrates

VERTEBRATES According to the molecular clock, a specific method for dating phylogenetic events, vertebrates (Vertebrata) separated from arthropods (Arthropoda) 976±97 Ma (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The latter began to dominate in species diversity with the Cambrian burst of radiation, which occurred 520 Ma (2010EdgecombeGD). This ratio in the fauna of the Earth is still preserved. Approximately 525 Ma, the phylum Chordates separated from the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (1995ChenJY_ZhouGQ). In turn, the evolution of chordate organisms led to the formation of the first vertebrates at least 500 Ma, from which the jawed mouths 450-400 Ma descended, becoming the ancestors of the placoderms or "armored" fish (Placodermi) (1979 НаумовНП _ КарташевНН ).

Postulates of LCF Mechanics

  Postulates of LCF mechanics   We continue to develop a new scientific direction « Mechanics of the Ligamentum Capitis Femoris »: https://roundligament.blogspot.com/2024/10/lcf-mechanics.html Analysis of the accumulated information allowed us to clarify the postulates of this scientific discipline: - Strong, flexible, and non-stretchable with specific attachment points. - Limits adduction, rotation, and cranial displacement of the femur. - Ensures rhythmicity, symmetry, and energy efficiency of walking. - Performs the function to suspend the pelvis during single-leg support. - Shunts load on the femoral head and the abductor muscle group of the hip joint. NB! Considering these positions in your clinical practice, you will reduce the likelihood of developing hip osteoarthritis and gait disturbances in patients.

Australopithecus Gait

  In our opinion, the ligamentum teres or ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in Australopithecus afarensis determined the gait. Its pelvis moved in the frontal plane similar to that of a modern human. In the horizontal plane, the rotational movements of the Australopithecus pelvis were carried out with a significantly smaller amplitude. Presumably Australopithecus afarensis had relatively shorter steps than Homo sapiens. During walking, the shoulder girdle was positioned in the frontal plane, and the arms exhibited minimal oscillation in the sagittal plane. Illustration: Comparative analysis of LCF movements On the right is the acetabulum of Homo sapiens (photo by the author); on the left is the acetabulum of Australopithecus afarensis 3D model of the pelvis (fragment of a screenshot from  sketchfab.com ); The distal end of the LCF (ligamentum teres) in Australopithecus moved in the horizontal plane in the acetabulum fossa with a smaller amplitude than in modern humans. k eyword...
