The rich diversity of morphology and behavior displayed across primate species provides an
informative context in which to study the impact of genomic diversity on fundamental …

Hominoids diverged from cercopithecoids during the Oligocene in Afro-Arabia, initially
radiating in that continent and subsequently dispersing into Eurasia. From the Late Miocene …

A clade's evolutionary history is shaped, in part, by geographical range expansion,
sweepstakes dispersal and local extinction. A rigorous understanding of historical …

Pierolapithecus catalaunicus (~ 12 million years ago, northeastern Spain) is key to
understanding the mosaic nature of hominid (great ape and human) evolution. Notably, its …

Despite intensive study, many aspects of the evolutionary history of great apes and humans
(Hominidae) are not well understood. In particular, the phylogenetic relationships of many …

Abstract Knowledge of primate evolutionary history from the Late Miocene to the present in
East Asia is necessary to develop a conservation strategy for primates today and future. This …

The systematic status of the small-bodied catarrhine primate Pliobates cataloniae, from the
Miocene (11.6 Ma) of Spain, is controversial because it displays a mosaic of primitive and …

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

Yuanmoupithecus xiaoyuan, a small catarrhine from the Late Miocene of Yunnan in
southern China, was initially suggested to be related to Miocene proconsuloids or …

Abstract Information about the taxonomy and geographical distribution of a species is
essential to understand its evolution and for conservation efforts. The phylogeny of the …
