Rethinking primate origins again
RW Sussman, D Tab Rasmussen… - American Journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
In 1974, Cartmill introduced the theory that the earliest primate adaptations were related to
their being visually oriented predators active on slender branches. Given more recent data …

The placental mammal ancestor and the post–K-Pg radiation of placentals
To discover interordinal relationships of living and fossil placental mammals and the time of
origin of placentals relative to the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary, we scored 4541 …

Postcrania of the most primitive euprimate and implications for primate origins
DM Boyer, S Toussaint, M Godinot - Journal of Human Evolution, 2017 - Elsevier
The fossil record of early primates is largely comprised of dentitions. While teeth can indicate
phylogenetic relationships and dietary preferences, they say little about hypotheses …

Patterns of astragalar fibular facet orientation in extant and fossil primates and their evolutionary implications
DM Boyer, ER Seiffert - American Journal of Physical …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
ABSTRACT A laterally sloping fibular facet of the astragalus (= talus) has been proposed as
one of few osteological synapomorphies of strepsirrhine primates, but the feature has never …
