Size Disparity in Putative Primate Adaptive Radiations and Other Mammalian Clades
Sex-biased sampling may influence Homo naledi tooth size variation
The macroevolutionary dynamics of activity pattern in mammals: Primates in context
William Howard Kimbel (1954-2022)
Functional and phylogenetic variation in anthropoid incisor size
OBJECTIVES: Previous studies have shown that frugivorous anthropoids have wider incisors than folivores relative to body mass, and that catarrhines have relatively wider incisors than platyrrhines. This study reexamines these contrasts using mandibular length as a biomechanical standard to quantify relative incisor width. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Dental, mandibular, and body-mass data for 86 anthropoid species were taken from the literature. Inciso…
Macroevolutionary effects on primate trophic evolution and their implications for reconstructing primate origins
Comparative morphology and ontogeny of the thoracolumbar transition in great apes, humans, and fossil hominins
Reevaluating cases of trait‐dependent diversification in primates
OBJECTIVES: Previous investigations have identified several ecological traits that may have shaped differences in species richness among primate clades by influencing speciation and extinction probabilities. In this study, I reevaluate these cases in light of concerns about high false-positive rates of the methods used to detect trait-dependent diversification. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data for six traits were taken from the literature: activity pa…
Dietary signals in the premolar dentition of primates
Lost and found: The third molars of Callimico goeldii and the evolution of the callitrichine postcanine dentition
Molar size and diet in the Strepsirrhini: Implications for size-adjustment in studies of primate dental adaptation
Folivory, frugivory, and postcanine size in the cercopithecoidea revisited
At a given body mass, folivorous colobines have smaller postcanine teeth than frugivorous cercopithecines. This distinction is a notable exception to the general tendency for folivorous primates to have relatively larger postcanine tooth rows than closely related frugivores. The reason for this anomalous pattern is unclear, but one potential explanation is that the difference in facial size between these two subfamilies confounds the comparison—i…
Size variation in early human mandibles and molars from Klasies River, South Africa: Comparison with other middle and late Pleistocene assemblages and with modern humans
Previous studies of the Middle Stone Age human remains from Klasies River have concluded that they exhibited more sexual dimorphism than extant populations, but these claims have not been assessed statistically. We evaluate these claims by comparing size variation in the best‐represented elements at the site, namely the mandibular corpora and M 2 s, to that in samples from three recent human populations using resampling methods. We also examine s…
Beyond Gorilla and Pongo: Alternative models for evaluating variation and sexual dimorphism in fossil hominoid samples
Sexual size dimorphism in the postcanine dentition of the late Miocene hominoid Lufengpithecus lufengensis exceeds that in Pongo pygmaeus , demonstrating that the maximum degree of molar size dimorphism in apes is not represented among the extant Hominoidea. It has not been established, however, that the molars of Pongo are more dimorphic than those of any other living primate. In this study, we used resampling‐based methods to compare molar dimo…
Paleolithic hominin remains from Eshkaft-e Gavi (southern Zagros Mountains, Iran): Description, Affinities, and Evidence for Butchery
Bootstrap tests of significance and the case for humanlike skeletal-size dimorphism in Australopithecus afarensis
Patterns of tooth crown size and shape variation in great apes and humans and species recognition in the hominid fossil record
It has been suggested that patterns of craniodental variation in living hominids ( Gorilla , Homo , Pan , and Pongo ) may be useful for evaluating variation in fossil hominid assemblages. Using this approach, a fossil sample exhibiting a pattern of variation that deviates from one shared among living taxa would be regarded as taxonomically heterogeneous. Here we examine patterns of tooth crown size and shape variation in great apes and humans to …
