Abstract Catarrhines originated in Afro-Arabia during the Paleogene, and were restricted to
this zoogeographic province until the early Miocene. During this period of isolation, several …

Here we describe the pelvis from the holotype specimen of Pierolapithecus catalaunicus
(IPS-21350), a middle Miocene (11.9 Ma [millions of years ago]) stem hominid from Barranc …

Two contrasting patterns of lumbar vertebral morphology generally characterize
anthropoids.“Long‐backed” monkeys are distinguished from “short‐backed” apes [Benton …

Vertical climbing has featured prominently in hypotheses of early hominoid evolution and
the origins of hominin bipedalism. The ankle is a critical region for determining how the foot …

Here we describe the vertebral fragments from the partial skeleton IPS18800 of the fossil
great ape Hispanopithecus laietanus (Hominidae: Dryopithecinae) from the late Miocene …

This is a study of the numerical composition of the vertebral column, the central structure of
the vertebrate body plan and one that plays an instrumental role in locomotion and posture …

The hypodigm of Morotopithecus bishopi includes several vertebral specimens from Moroto
II in addition to a scapular fragment, and femoral and craniodental specimens. The Moroto …

A new partial skeleton of Homo erectus attributed to the D2700 cranium was recently
discovered at the site of Dmanisi, Georgia. Two cervical, two thoracic, and one lumbar …

Interpretations of the postcranial anatomy of East African early and middle Miocene large-
bodied hominoids (eg, Proconsul, Afropithecus, Turkanapithecus, Nacholapithecus) have …

Objective The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that conarticular surfaces areas
and curvatures are correlates of mobility at the hominoid talocalcaneal and talonavicular …
