Evolution of human growth
Gathering and the Hominid
This chapter presents a reconstruction of the way of life of Australopithecus, based on interpretations of new evidence and reinterpretation of the old. It explores the assumption that hunting arose early in human evolution and that meat was a primary food source. The chapter proposes that gathering of plant foods was the basic adaptation, and interprets social organization, parental investment, and mating patterns within this framework. The soci…
Ontogenetic scaling of fore limb and hind limb joint posture and limb bone cross‐sectional geometry in vervets and baboons
OBJECTIVES: Previous studies suggest that the postures habitually adopted by an animal influence the mechanical loading of its long bones. Relatively extended limb postures in larger animals should preferentially reduce anteroposterior (A-P) relative to mediolateral (M-L) bending of the limb bones and therefore decrease A-P/M-L rigidity. We test this hypothesis by examining growth-related changes in limb bone structure in two primate taxa that di…

Skeletal development in Pan paniscus with comparisons to Pan troglodytes
Fusion of skeletal elements provides markers for timing of growth and is one component of a chimpanzee's physical development. Epiphyseal closure defines bone growth and signals a mature skeleton. Most of what we know about timing of development in chimpanzees derives from dental studies on Pan troglodytes . Much less is known about the sister species, Pan paniscus , with few in captivity and a wild range restricted to central Africa. Here, we re…
The real females of human evolution
When "woman-the-gatherer" was first proposed as a counter to "man-the-hunter," we were only beginning to understand the many faces of primate females. In ensuing decades we have learned about the skills and talents of female chimpanzees in tool using, hunting, and transmitting behaviors from one generation to the next as teachers, and across space as newcomers to neighboring communities. The perspective of evolutionary time highlights the continu…
Anatomical Contributions to Hylobatid Taxonomy and Adaptation
Compared with the great apes, the small-bodied hylobatids were treated historically as a relatively uniform group with 2 genera, Hylobates and the larger-bodied Symphalangus. Four genera are now recognized, each with a different chromosome number: Hoolock (hoolock) (38), Hylobates (44), Nomascus (crested gibbon) (52), and Symphalangus (siamang) (50). Previous morphological studies based on relative bone lengths, e.g., intermembral indices; molar …
Brief communication: Dental development timing in captive Pan paniscus with comparisons to Pan troglodytes
Dental eruption provides markers of growth and is one component of a chimpanzee's physical development. Dental markers help characterize transitions between life stages, e.g., infant to juvenile. Most of what we know about the timing of development in chimpanzees derives from Pan troglodytes. Much less is known about the sister species, Pan paniscus , with few in captivity and a restricted wild range in central Africa. Here we report on the denta…
Morphological variation in adult chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes verus ) of the Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire
Twenty five adult chimpanzee skeletons ( Pan troglodytes verus ) of known age and sex (15 females, 10 males) from a long‐term study site in Taï National Park, Cote d'Ivoire present new data on variation. These skeletons provide a rare opportunity to measure the cranium and postcranium from the same individuals. We compare measurements and indices of the Taï sample with those of relatively complete Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii skeletons from Gom…

Wild chimpanzee dentition and its implications for assessing life history in immature hominin fossils
Data from three African field sites on Pan troglodytes demonstrate an unambiguous pattern of a slower growth rate in wild vs. captive chimpanzee populations. A revised dental growth chronology for chimpanzees is similar to estimated timing of Homo erectus and therefore has implications for interpreting life history in hominins.

Body mass in lowland gorillas: A quantitative analysis
Body proportions and tissue composition (e.g., relative contributions of muscle, skin, bone, and adipose to total body mass) were determined through dissection of four adult captive lowland gorillas. The relative contribution of bone varies little among the four animals (10.2-13.4%) despite considerable range in body weights (99.5-211 kg). In tissue composition, three animals have on average 37.3% muscle relative to body mass. Maximum estimates o…
The Evolving Female: A Life-History Perspective
The evolving female: A Life-History Perspective
"A human female is born, lives her life, and dies within the space of a few decades, but the shape of her life has been strongly influenced by 50 million years of primate evolution and more than 100 million years of mammalian evolution. How the individual female plays out the stages of her life -- from infancy, through the reproductive period, to old age -- and how these stages have been formed by a long evolutionary process, is the theme of this…

Bonobos: Generalized Hominid Prototypes or Specialized Insular Dwarfs? [and Comments and Replies]
Neontological, biochemical, and paleontological data indicate that the bonobo, Pan paniscus, is a specialized form that possesses relatively small teeth, is quadrupedally adapted, and is only minimally sexually dimorphic. The various specializations of bonobos could be adaptations to ecological restrictions encountered in the terrestrial island of tropical forest that comprises their home range. Bonobos possess specializations quite different fro…
Ramapithecus and Hominid Origins [and Comments and Reply]
The importance of Ramapithecus has traditionally been in the claim that it represents the earliest hominid. It is argued here that the development of Ramapithecus interpretations has been dependent upon the currently accepted theory of hominid origins. In turn, theories of hominid origins have been influenced by the emerging understanding of the ramapithecine adaptive radiation. Recent evidence strongly suggests an ancestry for Pongo among the ra…
