Living Anthropoidea—the group that includes monkeys, apes, and humans—has long been
recognized as a monophyletic group among primates diagnosed by a suite of features of the …

Recent fossil discoveries, phylogenetic analyses, revised reconstructions of continental drift,
and accumulating molecular evidence have all yielded new information relating to …

Over the past decade, many new finds of African Eocene and Oligocene monkeys and
Holarctic Eocene primates have rekindled long-standing debates concerning the origins and …

The relationships of anthropoids to other primates are currently debated, as are the

At the moment, nearly all students of primate evolution agree that modern anthropoids
comprise a holophyletic clade with respect to other living primates, ie, that there was once a …

As the editors of this volume describe in their preface (Ciochon and Chiarelli, 1980), the
preceding papers were solicited from researchers in various disciplines so that we could …
