💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐒👶 A new #study using #3D pelvic scans across 29 primate species overturns a decades-old assumption that #humans have the toughest births.
Researchers found that squirrel #monkeys and #tamarins give birth to #babies with heads roughly double the size of the maternal #birth canal. These species get around the problem with temporary pelvic bone dislocation or open pelvises held together by stretchable connective tissue.
