The vertical‐climbing account of the evolution of locomotor behavior and morphology in
hominid ancestry is reexamined in light of recent behavioral, anatomical, and …

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

Since meditative practices are associated with changes that are consistent with decreased
activity of the sympathetic nervous system1–7, it is conceivable that measurable body …

Functional features of the articular surfaces of the joints of the elbow region are described for
a number of extant and fossil anthropoids. At the humeroradial and proximal radioulnar …

Neogene hominoid cranial material is regrettably scarce, especially from the middle and late
Miocene. Between the 18-Myr-old virtually complete early Miocene Proconsul africanus skull …

Hominoids, or taxa identified as hominoids, are known from much of Africa, Asia, and
Europe since the Late Oligocene. The earliest such taxa, from Africa, resemble extant …

This chapter purposes to make some general comments on functional features of the
morphology of some Miocene hominoid postcrania and on possible positional capabilities …

Recent collections at the middle Miocene site of Maboko Island in Kenya have yielded a
relatively large sample of isolated postcranial bones that can be assigned with some degree …

Siwalik rocks of Pakistan are a virtually continuous, continental sedimentary sequence,
extending in age from 18 to 1 ma bp This paper describes taphonomic features of late …

Background The morphology of human pollical distal phalanges (PDP) closely reflects the
adaptation of human hands for refined precision grip with pad-to-pad contact. The presence …
