The fossil record of ‘lesser apes’ (i.e. hylobatids = gibbons and siamangs) is virtually non-existent before the latest Miocene East Asia. However, molecular data strongly consistently suggest that should be present by approximately 20 Ma; thus, there are large temporal, geographical, morphological gaps between early apes in Africa earliest China. Here, we describe a new 12.5–13.8 Ma ape from Lower Siwaliks Ramnagar, India, fills these long-standing with implications for hylobatid origins....
Pierolapithecus catalaunicus (~12 million years ago, northeastern Spain) is key to understanding the mosaic nature of hominid (great ape and human) evolution. Notably, its skeleton indicates that an orthograde (upright) body plan preceded suspensory adaptations in However, there ongoing debate about this species, partly because sole known cranium, preserving a nearly complete face, suffers from taphonomic damage. We 1) carried out micro computerized tomography (CT) based virtual...
Thumb reduction is among the most important features distinguishing African and Asian colobines from each other Old World monkeys. In this study we demonstrate that partial skeleton KNM-ER 4420 Koobi Fora, Kenya, dated to 1.9 Ma assigned Plio-Pleistocene colobine species Cercopithecoides williamsi, shows marked of its first metacarpal relative medial metacarpals. Thus, documented occurrence cercopithecid pollical in fossil record. size metacarpals, C. williamsi similar extant colobines, but...
The field of phenomics is experiencing unprecedented advances thanks to the rapid growth morphological quantification based on three-dimensional (3D) imaging, online data repositories, team-oriented collaborations, and open data-sharing policies. In line with these progressions, we present an extensive primate phenotypic dataset comprising >6,000 3D scans (media) representing skeletal morphologies 386 individual specimens covering all hominoid genera (except humans) other selected primates....
