Cell
Olivier Pourquié

Abstract

The morphology of the vertebrate skeleton exhibits tremendous plasticity in evolution, allowing adaptation to a wide variety of ecological niches and lifestyles. Indjeian et al. now uncover how the cis regulation of a gene controls skeletal variation in fish and might have contributed to the evolution of bipedalism in humans.
