Mammal extinctions and the increasing isolation of humans on the tree of life
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 A sixth great mass extinction is ongoing due to the direct and indirect effects of human pressures. However, not all lineages are affected equally. From an anthropocentric perspective, it is often purported that humans hold a unique place on Earth. Here,

Adult Blow Flies Host Diverse Carrion‐Associated Microbiomes
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) perform important yet often overlooked roles in ecosystems as decomposers, pollinators and vectors of disease. Central to these functions are their associations with microbial communities, which are maintained through close contact with diverse microbe‐rich substrates such as carrion, dung and flowers.

The appearance of the Hominidae family [PDF]
, 1992 The appearance of the hominidae family is still very controversial, which is caused by great diversity and incompleteness of hominoid fossils. This problem refers to both taxonomic and phylogenetic interpretation of paleontological data, and also ...

Dental development and the evolution of life history in Hominidae [PDF]
, 1991 Development of the dentition is critically integrated into the life cycle in living mammals. Recent work on dental development has given rise to three separate lines of evidence on the evolution of human growth and aging; these three, based on several ...

Functional Differences in Muscle Architecture Across the Pelvis and Hind Limb of Primates
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Understanding the architectural diversity of primate musculature is essential for interpreting locomotor function and reconstructing evolutionary adaptations. This study examines whether interspecific differences in pelvic and hind limb muscle architecture reflect functional differentiation among major muscle groups.

Gene conversions in the growth hormone gene family of primates: Stronger homogenizing effects in the Hominidae lineage [PDF]
, 2011 In humans, the growth hormone/chorionic somatomammotropin gene family is composed of five highly similar genes. We characterized the gene conversions that occurred between the growth hormone genes of 11 primate species.

Orangutan Alu quiescence reveals possible source element: support for ancient backseat drivers
Mobile DNA, 2012 Background Sequence analysis of the orangutan genome revealed that recent proliferative activity of Alu elements has been uncharacteristically quiescent in the Pongo (orangutan) lineage, compared with all previously studied primate genomes.

Anthropological Review, 1992 The appearance of the Hominidae Family is still very controversial, which is caused by great diversity and incompleteness of hominoid fossils. This problem refers to both taxonomic and phylogenetic interpretation of paleontological data, and also dating methods. The article widely discusses various attitudes, presented in literature.
