In this review of the evidence for and against taxic diversity within the hominin clade, we
begin by looking at the logic and the history of simple “ladder‐like” interpretations of the …

Methodological and biological considerations are intertwined when studying cryptic species.
A potentially large component of modern biodiversity, the frequency of cryptic species …

The fossil record of 'lesser apes'(ie hylobatids= gibbons and siamangs) is virtually non-
existent before the latest Miocene of East Asia. However, molecular data strongly and …

The majority of attempts to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the hominin clade proceed
as if the hominin fossil record is a precise, accurate, and comprehensive record of human …

Gorillas living in western central Africa (Gorilla gorilla) are morphologically and genetically
distinguishable from those living in eastern central Africa (Gorilla beringei). Genomic …

Objectives The effects of phylogeny and locomotor behavior on long bone structural
proportions are assessed through comparisons between adult and ontogenetic samples of …

We are accustomed to regular announcements of new hominin fossils. There are now some
6000 hominin fossils, and up to 31 species. However, where are the announcements of …

Information about primate genomes has re‐emphasized the importance of the great apes
(Pan, Gorilla, and Pongo) as, for most purposes, the appropriate comparators when …

Fossil hylobatids are rare, but are known from late Miocene and Pleistocene sites
throughout East Asia. The best-known fossil hylobatid from the Pleistocene of China is a left …

Gorilla systematics has received increased attention over recent decades from
primatologists, conservationists, and paleontologists. Studies of geographic variation in …
