Comparative morphometric analysis of the proximal femur of African hominids and felids

South African Journal of Science, 2015
Size and shape of the mammalian proximal femur and taxon-specific distinctions in the relative proportions of the proximal articulation, the femoral neck and the proximal femoral diaphysis, are critical determinants in its adaptation to differential ...

The biomechanical importance of the scaphoid-centrale fusion during simulated knuckle-walking and its implications for human locomotor evolution [PDF]

, 2020
© 2020, The Author(s). Inferring the locomotor behaviour of the last common ancestor (LCA) of humans and African apes is still a divisive issue. An African great-ape-like ancestor using knuckle-walking is still the most parsimonious hypothesis for the ...

The phyogenetic principles of mma: A hypothetical biostratigraphic model [PDF]

, 2012
Two erectoid hominids from Sarstedt prompted a detailed examination of the course of the impressions of the Arteria meningea media and their characteristics within the line of ...

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Elucidation of cross-species proteomic effects in human and hominin bone proteome identification through a bioinformatics experiment

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background The study of ancient protein sequences is increasingly focused on the analysis of older samples, including those of ancient hominins. The analysis of such ancient proteomes thereby potentially suffers from “cross-species proteomic effects ...

Human neuromaturation, juvenile extreme energy liability, and adult cognition/cooperation [PDF]

, 2012
Human childhood and adolescence is the period in which adult cognitive competences (including those that create the unique cooperativeness of humans) are acquired.

Evidence of strong stabilizing effects on the evolution of boreoeutherian (Mammalia) dental proportions. [PDF]

, 2019
The dentition is an extremely important organ in mammals with variation in timing and sequence of eruption, crown morphology, and tooth size enabling a range of behavioral, dietary, and functional adaptations across the class.

Patterns of interspecific variation in labial microarchitecture among anthropoid primates and the evolution of the hominin lips

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Comparative histological and semi‐automated image analysis of primate lips: Masson's trichrome‐stained sagittal sections were segmented to quantify the connective tissue, adipose, and muscular components, enabling interspecific comparisons of labial architecture.

Global distribution and contexts of interactions between humans and non‐human primates: A systematic review

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the frequency and socio‐ecological drivers of contacts between humans and non‐human primates (NHPs) is crucial for enhancing coexistence that favours NHP conservation, while limiting negative consequences such as aggressions and cross‐species disease transmission.

Primata besar di Jawa: spesimen baru gigantopithecus dari Semedo [PDF]

, 2016
Pada tahun 2014 ditemukan dua spesimen mandibula yang ”enigmatic”, dengan nama Semedo 3417 dan Semedo 3418. Kedua mandibula tersebut secara morfologis mirip dengan bentuk rahang primata pada umumnya, namun berukuran dua kali lipat lebih besar.
