A versatile gluteus medius drove a seamless transition to bipedalism
The functional role of the gluteus medius differs between extant humans and other primates. In nonhuman primates, the muscle rotates the pelvis in the horizontal plane and assists forelimb reach. By contrast, in humans, it pulls the pelvis upward in the frontal plane and contributes to mediolateral stability during bipedal gait. In the earliest evolutionary stage of bipedalism, however, a functional flexibility would have been required to cope wi…
Investigating the dietary niches of fossil Plio-Pleistocene European macaques
Helium experiment of non-human primates and alligators
Computational fluid dynamics simulation wall model predicting air temperature of the nasal passage for nonhuman primates
OBJECTIVES: Nasal passages adjust the temperature of inhaled air to reach the required body temperature for the lungs. The nasal regions of primates including humans are believed to have experienced anatomical modifications that are adaptive to effective conditioning of the atmospheric air in the habitat for a given species. Measurements of the nasal temperature are required to understand the air-conditioning performance for a given species. Unfo…

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…
Preface to the Featured Reviews
Research was based on the comparative anatomy, physiology, and cognition of vocalizations in non-human primates, to improve our understanding of the primate origins and evolutionary processes of human speech.Humans have a physical ability to produces a series of many distinct voice sounds, including vowels and consonants, even in a very short time, such as a single exhalation.This distinctive acoustic and physiological feature of speech is not fo…
The descended larynx and the descending larynx
Our understanding of the evolution of human speech has been expanded by an increased knowledge of vocal anatomy and physiology in non-human primates. Comparative approaches provide evidence supporting the primate origins of many speech faculties. The descent of the larynx enables the two-tube configuration of the supralaryngeal vocal tract (SVT) in humans; however, this configuration is also found in chimpanzees and macaques. The acoustic propert…

Contribution of the maxillary sinus to the modularity and variability of nasal cavity shape in Japanese macaques
First discovery of colobine fossils from the Late Miocene/Early Pliocene in central Myanmar
Intracranial arachnoid cysts in a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)
Aplasia of the maxillary sinus in a Tibetan macaque (Macaca thibetana) with implications for its evolutionary loss and reacquisition
Ecogeographical and phylogenetic effects on craniofacial variation in macaques
The widespread and complex ecogeographical diversity of macaques may have caused adaptive morphological convergence among four phylogenetic subgroups, making their phylogenetic relationships unclear. We used geometric morphometrics and multivariate analyses to test the null hypothesis that craniofacial morphology does not vary with ecogeographical and phylogenetic factors. As predicted by Bergmann's rule, size was larger for the fascicularis and …
Nasal architecture in Procynocephalus wimani (Early Pleistocene, China) and implications for its phyletic relationship with Paradolichopithecus
Procynocephalus and Paradolichopithecus are large Eurasian papionins from the Middle Pliocene to Early Pleistocene. The two genera are regarded as being phylogenetically close, but their phyletic position is still disputed, in particular regarding to which subtribe, Papionina or Macacina, they are close to. Many fragile structures of the nasal region are well preserved in the type specimen of Procynocephalus wimani from the Xin’an locality in Chi…
Soprano singing in gibbons
Diversifications in primate vocalization, including human speech, are believed to reflect evolutionary modifications in vocal anatomy and physiology. Gibbon song is acoustically unique, comprising loud, melodious, penetrating pure tone‐like calls. In a white‐handed gibbon, Hylobates lar , the fundamental frequency ( f 0 ) of song sounds is amplified distinctively from the higher harmonics in normal air. In a helium‐enriched atmosphere, f 0 does n…

Development of the supralaryngeal vocal tract in Japanese macaques
The configuration of the supralaryngeal vocal tract depends on the nonuniform growth of the oral and pharyngeal portion. The human pharynx develops to form a unique configuration, with the epiglottis losing contact with the velum. This configuration develops from the great descent of the larynx relative to the palate, which is accomplished through both the descent of the laryngeal skeleton relative to the hyoid and the descent of the hyoid relati…
Origin of Human Speech and Primate Vocalizations
ヒトの話しことばにみられる連続的で変化に富んだ音声は,他の霊長類の音声とは異なり,言語で整理された多種多様な情報のすばやい効率的な伝達を可能にする。ヒトは,ヒト以外の哺乳類とは異なり,脳で作られた音声計画に合わせて音声器官の運動を随意に制御し,声道形状を的確なかたちへと連続的に変化させて,話しことばをつくりだす。古人類学的研究では,その話しことばに関連すると考えられる形態学的特徴を探し出し,その特徴に関する古人類の比較形態学的分析を通じて,言語の起源が論じられてきた。一方,ヒト以外の霊長類における音声器官の比較形態学的研究や音声の生物音響学的研究の進展は,話しことばの生物学的基盤は,ヒト系統以前から,それとは関係のない別々の適応を経て現れたというモザイク進化モデルを描き始めた。今後,両研究アプローチによる知見の蓄積とともに,それらが運動学的分析のもとに統合されることを期待したい。それにより,話しことばの解剖学的基盤の何がヒト特異的であるのか,あらためて浮き彫りになるだろう。その実証的知見…

Variation in maxillary sinus anatomy among platyrrhine monkeys
Developmental changes in the shape of the supralaryngeal vocal tract in chimpanzees
The hyoid bone and larynx in human neonates are positioned as high as in other mammals. However, during postnatal life, they descend relative to the hard palate more rapidly compared with the horizontal growth of the oral cavity. This process is completed through the descent of the laryngeal skeleton relative to the hyoid, and through the descent of the hyoid relative to the cranial base. Thus, the human supralaryngeal vocal tract (SVT) develops …
