Apes, members of the superfamily Hominoidea, possess a distinctive suite of anatomical
and behavioral characters which appear to have evolved relatively late and relatively …

Despite recent advances in chronometric techniques (eg, Uranium-Lead [U-Pb], cosmogenic
nuclides, electron spin resonance spectroscopy [ESR]), considerable uncertainty remains …

An understanding of the fundamental causes of the structure of primate communities is
important for studies of primate evolutionary history, primate behavioral ecology, and …

Plio-Pleistocene global climate change is believed to have had an important influence on
local habitats and early human evolution in Africa. Responses of hominin lineages to climate …

Reconstructing paleoecological patterns associated with hominin taxa, such as
Australopithecus afarensis, is important for understanding possible evolutionary …

The incorporation of C4 resources into hominin diet signifies increased dietary breadth
within hominins and divergence from the dietary patterns of other great apes. Morphological …

The African colobines represent a neglected area of cercopithecid systematics. Resolving
the phylogenetic relationships and estimating divergence dates among the living forms will …

It has long been hypothesized that the transition from Australopithecus to Homo in eastern
Africa was linked to the spread of open and arid environments near the Plio− Pleistocene …

Kanapoi, located in the southwestern portion of the Lake Turkana Basin, is the type locality
