| Abstract | This doctoral dissertation research project investigates how key evolutionary changes in locomotion influenced the relationship between cognition and movement performance in humans. Two significant shifts in locomotion occurred during the course of human evolution: (1) a transition to bipedal walking, and (2) the incorporation of long-distance aerobic activity associated with a hunting and gathering lifestyle. Each of these shifts altered movement and influenced how the brain and the rest of the |
