A recent paper in Science by Vagheesh Narasimhan and his team from the University of Texas sheds new light on the 'Obstetrical Dilemma' – the long-debated conflict regarding the optimal pelvic structure for bipedalism and successful childbirth in humans. Christina Berndt of Süddeutsche Zeitung covers this new finding, along with perspectives and insights from international researchers in the field, including Barbara Fischer and Philipp Mitteroecker of the KLI.

We are delighted to have KLI alumna Cristina Villegas join the KLI again, this time as 'Group Leader, Philosophy of the Life Sciences'. Cristina is a philosopher of biology specializing in causal explanations, probabilities and chance in evolutionary biology, with a special focus on evo-devo and evolvability research. She is particularly interested in the intersection between evolutionary developmental biology and evolutionary quantitative genetics, and her work revolves around the epistemological, ontological, and historical aspects of this intersection. We wish Cristina a wonderful new beginning at the KLI! (Click on title to continue...)
