This book is full of excellent contributions on bat evolution, fossil history, and the biomechanics of bat flight. The book starts with a review article on the evolution of echolocation by Emma ...
Scientists at the University of Chicago and the University of Leeds have assembled the largest and most comprehensive family tree of the order primates, including both living and extinct species.
Tiny, tooth-sized fossils have just reshaped the story of our deepest ancestry. Paleontologists have discovered the southernmost remains ever found of Purgatorius—the earliest-known relative of all ...
The order Primates consists of not only our closest relatives on earth, the seven great apes, but also over 450 species of monkeys, lemurs, lorises, and galagos. Primates are fantastically diverse, ...
Nine of the world's leading primatologists come together in this engaging volume to discuss many of the evolutionary forces that have created Homo sapiens. Edited by the eminent de Waal (The Ape and ...
A Duke scientist has reconstructed the most comprehensive family tree to date of the monkeys that arrived in South America 37 or more million years ago and their subsequent evolution. The research ...
A monkey descending a tree trunk often keeps its head up, moving almost like a cautious climber backing down a ladder.
Our understanding of human evolution would be improved substantially by having a well-resolved phylogenetic tree of primates — a tree that, because of its complexity, has been difficult to trace. Now, ...
Primates don’t monkey around when deciding where to spend the night, but primatologists have had a poor grasp on what drives certain monkeys toward specific trees. Now, two extensive studies of ...
