Adaptive shifts associated with human origins are brought to light as we examine the human
fossil record and study our own genome and that of our closest ape relatives. However, the …

Molecular data have converged on a consensus about the genus-level phylogeny of extant
platyrrhine monkeys, but for most extinct taxa and certainly for those older than the …

Dolichocebus is known from the type skull encased in a concretion, numerous isolated teeth,
parts of two mandibles, and a talus. The specimens come from the Trelew Member (early …

Recent field efforts in Peruvian Amazonia (Contamana area, Loreto Department) have
resulted in the discovery of a late Oligocene (ca. 26.5 Ma; Chambira Formation) fossil …

The basicranium has been argued to contain a strong phylogenetic signal in previous
analyses of primate cranial morphology. Therefore, further study of basicranial morphology …

Pliopithecoids are an extinct group of catarrhine primates from the Miocene of Eurasia. More
than 50 years ago, they were linked to hylobatids due to some morphological similarities, but …

The small-bodied Miocene catarrhine Pliobates cataloniae (11.6 Ma, Spain) displays a
mosaic of catarrhine symplesiomorphies and hominoid synapomorphies that hinders …

The cercopithecine primate tribe Papionini (Order: Primates; Family Cercopithecidae;
Subfamily Cercopithecinae) are an extremely successful group of monkeys including the …

During the Cenozoic paucituberculatans were much more diverse taxonomically and
ecomorphologically than the three extant genera of shrew-like marsupials. Among …

Reconstructing the paleobiology of fossil non-human primates, this book is intended as an
exposition of non-human primate evolution that includes information about evolutionary …
