Understanding the functional underpinnings of interspecific and ontogenetic variation in a
given character, as well as in a character complex, is vital for unraveling the adaptive …

A distal tibia, YGSP 1656, from the early Late Miocene portion of the Chinji Formation in
Pakistan is described. The fossil is 11.4 million years old and is one of only six postcranial …

The articular facets of interosseous joints must transmit forces while maintaining relatively
low stresses. To prevent overloading, joints that transmit higher forces should therefore have …

Phylogenies with estimates of divergence times are essential for investigating many
evolutionary questions. In principle,“tip-dating” is arguably the most appropriate approach …

A well‐preserved fossil talus [National Museum of Myanmar Primates (NMMP) 82] of a large‐
bodied primate is described from the late middle Eocene Pondaung Formation of central …

A mandible of Rangwapithecus gordoni from the early Miocene site of Songhor, Kenya,
provides additional information about this relatively poorly known taxon. The R. gordoni …

ABSTRACT A well‐preserved calcaneus referrable to Proteopithecus sylviae from the late
Eocene Quarry L‐41 in the Fayum Depression, Egypt, provides new evidence relevant to …

The divergence of crown catarrhines—ie, the split of cercopithecoids (Old World monkeys)
from hominoids (apes and humans)—is a poorly understood phase in our shared …

The trabecular structure of the ankle bone in small to medium‐bodied (60–5000 g) primates
of distinct locomotor types was analyzed using high‐resolution X‐ray computed tomography …

Eosimiid and amphipithecid primates document a long and significant history of primate
evolution throughout the Eocene in Southeast Asia. Despite the absence of a …
