Femoral neck cortical bone distribution in Nacholapithecus from the Middle Miocene of Kenya

Variation of bony labyrinthine morphology in Mio−Plio−Pleistocene and modern anthropoids
OBJECTIVES: The bony labyrinth of the inner ear has special relevance when tracking phenotypic evolution because it is often well preserved in fossil and modern primates. Here we track the evolution of the bony labyrinth of anthropoid primates during the Mio-Plio-Pleistocene-the time period that gave rise to the extant great apes and humans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We use geometric morphometrics to analyze labyrinthine morphology in a wide range o…

New forelimb long bone specimens of Nacholapithecus kerioi from the Middle Miocene of northern Kenya
This article reports eight new humeral, ulnar, and radial fragments of Nacholapithecus kerioi collected from Nachola, Kenya during the 1998/1999 field seasons. The study refines the description of its forelimb bones, which was mostly based on a single partial skeleton. The most distinctive feature of the distal humerus is a large, globular, medially tilted capitulum. The groove between the capitulum and the zona conoidea is quite deep. The medial…

Sesamoids of the pollical metacarpophalangeal joint and the evolution of hominoid hands
Sesamoids of the metacarpophalangeal joint are tiny bones located in the volar plate and articulated with the metacarpal head. Almost all living humans have radial and ulnar sesamoids in their pollical metacarpophalangeal joints. These bones protect and guide the tendon of the long (= extrinsic) pollical flexor. Whereas this condition is considered to be primitive for primates, living great apes have a tendency to lose these pollical sesamoids. S…
A new species of Mioeuoticus (Lorisiformes, Primates) from the early Middle Miocene of Kenya
We here describe a prosimian specimen discovered from the early Middle Miocene (~15 Ma) of Nachola, northern Kenya. It is a right maxilla that preserves P4–M3, and is assigned to a new species of the Miocene lorisid genus Mioeuoticus. Previously, Mioeuoticus was known from the Early Miocene of East Africa. The Nachola specimen is therefore the first discovery of this genus from the Middle Miocene. The presence of a new lorisid species in the Nach…
