Human hip impingement morphology: an evolutionary explanation.
We examined the morphology of mammalian hips asking whether evolution can explain the morphology of impingement in human hips.

It is a sturdy hip seen mostly in runners and jumpers. Coxa rotunda has a round femoral ...

We use evolutionary game theory to describe how agents endogenously switch among different foreca...
