The alternative proposal that a broader pelvis offers greater walking efficiency [15] has recently been supported by empirical studies (summarised in [14, 16]). In addition, while shorter individuals generally have smaller pelves, birth canal size is maintained among certain recent small-bodied populations despite an absolutely narrower pelvis, suggesting a wider birth canal is compatible with adequate locomotor efficiency [17, 18].
