Are there any discussions in the literature of the biomechanics
involved in the alteration of the mother/infant dyad from a
quadrupedal to a bipedal gait? They should focus on late
infancy (about 3-4 years of age) when the weight of the infant
would be a strongly inhibiting factor on the ability of the
mother to adopt a bipedal stance.
