Many of the unresolved debates in palaeoanthropology regarding evolution of particular
locomotor or manipulative behaviours are founded in differing opinions about the functional …

Despite the fact that the shoulder is one of the most extensively studied regions in
comparative primate and human anatomy, two recent fossil hominin discoveries have …

The evolutionary history of the living hominoids has remained elusive despite years of
exploration and the discovery of numerous Miocene fossil ape species. Part of the difficulty …

Scapular morphology is predictive of locomotor adaptations among primates, but this
skeletal element is scarce in the hominin fossil record. Notably, both scapulae of the juvenile …

New discoveries ofA. africanusfossils from Member 4 Sterkfontein reveal a body form quite
unlike earlierAustralopithecusspecies. The new adult material consists of over 48 fore-and …

Primates have shoulders adapted to a wide range of locomotor functions from terrestrial
pronograde quadrupedalism to highly arboreal suspensory behaviours. The shape of the …

The holotype of Homo floresiensis, diminutive hominins with tiny brains living until 12,000
years ago on the island of Flores, is a partial skeleton (LB1) that includes a partial clavicle …

This article compares ontogenetic shape variation in the scapula of 17 anthropoid species
using three‐dimensional landmark‐based geometric morphometrics. These data are used to …

Several bones of the upper extremity were recovered during excavations of Late Pleistocene
deposits at Liang Bua, Flores, and these have been attributed to Homo floresiensis. At …

In an analysis of hominoid postcranial variation,'Evol. Anthrop. 6 (1998) 87'argued that many
purportedly unique features of the hominoid postcranium are actually much more variable …
