In recent years, multiple technological and methodological advances have increased our
ability to estimate phylogenies, leading to more accurate dating of the primate tree of life …

We define 17 African land mammal ages, or AFLMAs, covering the Cenozoic record of the
Afro-arabian continent, the planet's second largest land mass. While fossiliferous deposits …

Diverse lines of geological and geochemical evidence indicate that the Eocene-Oligocene
transition (EOT) marked the onset of a global cooling phase, rapid growth of the Antarctic ice …

Fossil primate dietary inference is enhanced when ascertained through multiple, distinct
proxies. Dental topography can be used to assess changes in occlusal morphology with …

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

Objectives To test the hypothesis that differences in crown structure, enamel growth, and
crown geometry in Cercocebus and Lophocebus molars covary with differences in the …

An ape partial postcranial skeleton (KNM-NP 64631) was recovered during the 2015–2021
field seasons at Napudet, a Middle Miocene (∼ 13 Ma) locality in northern Kenya. Bony …

Cercopithecins differ from papionins in lacking a M 3 hypoconulid. Although this loss may be
related to dietary differences, the functional and developmental ramifications of hypoconulid …

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

The cranium contains almost all of the vertebrate sensory organs and plays an essential role
in vertebrate evolution. Research on the primate cranium has revealed that it is both highly …
