What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Anatomy
- Ecology
- Paleontology
His primary scientific interests are in Zoology, Bipedalism, Australopithecus, Human evolution and Australopithecus afarensis.
In his research on the topic of Zoology, Human taxonomy and Genus is strongly related with Taxon.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Ardipithecus ramidus, Pleistocene, Ardipithecus and Theria in addition to Bipedalism.
His study brings together the fields of Postcrania and Australopithecus.
He has included themes like Homo sapiens and Paleoanthropology in his Human evolution study.
His work in Australopithecus afarensis covers topics such as Sexual dimorphism which are related to areas like Evolutionary biology, Gorilla and Range.
His most cited work include:
- Human evolution: taxonomy and paleobiology (221 citations)
- Origin of human bipedalism: The knuckle-walking hypothesis revisited. (221 citations)
- Evidence that humans evolved from a knuckle-walking ancestor (221 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Brian G. Richmond mainly focuses on Anatomy, Biomechanics, Homo erectus, Zoology and Human evolution.
In his research, Pongo pygmaeus is intimately related to Homo sapiens, which falls under the overarching field of Anatomy.
In the field of Homo erectus, his study on Homo ergaster overlaps with subjects such as Lineage.
His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Taxon, Australopithecus and Gorilla.
His study in Human evolution is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bipedalism, Postcrania, Paleoanthropology and Primate.
The various areas that Brian G. Richmond examines in his Bipedalism study include Ecology, Ardipithecus and Footprint.
He most often published in these fields:
- Anatomy (77.10%)
- Biomechanics (25.95%)
- Homo erectus (32.06%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?
- Homo erectus (32.06%)
- Anatomy (77.10%)
- Paranthropus (14.50%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Homo erectus, Anatomy, Paranthropus, Paranthropus boisei and Early Pleistocene.
His Homo erectus study also includes
- Bipedalism which is related to area like Paleoanthropology,
- Ecology and related Phys anthropol.
His studies deal with areas such as Bite force quotient and Masticatory force as well as Anatomy.
Gorilla, Upper limb, Cortical bone and Australopithecus afarensis is closely connected to Homo habilis in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Paranthropus.
His Early Pleistocene research includes themes of Australopithecus and Human evolution.
His Australopithecus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Olduvai Gorge, Postcrania and Glenoid cavity, Scapula.
Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Footprints reveal direct evidence of group behavior and locomotion in Homo erectus (43 citations)
- Footprints reveal direct evidence of group behavior and locomotion in Homo erectus (43 citations)
- Laetoli footprints reveal bipedal gait biomechanics different from those of modern humans and chimpanzees. (41 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Paleontology
- Anatomy
His primary areas of investigation include Gait, Footprint, Bipedalism, Homo erectus and Ecology.
His work deals with themes such as Social behavior, Direct evidence and Human evolution, which intersect with Gait.
His study with Footprint involves better knowledge in Paleontology.
His Homo erectus study is associated with Pleistocene.
His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Toxicology and Physical strength.
