New perspectives on anthropoid origins.
Adaptive shifts associated with human origins are brought to light as we examine the human fossil record and study our own genome and that of our closest ape relatives. However, the more ancient roots of many human characteristics are revealed through the study of a broader array of living anthropoids and the increasingly dense fossil record of the earliest anthropoid radiations. Genomic data a...

Recent fossil discoveries, phylogenetic analyses, revised reconstructions of continental drift, and accumulating molecular evidence have all yielded new information relating to anthropoid origins within the broader context of primate evolution. There is an emerging consensus among molecular studies that four superorders of eutherian mammals can be recognized: Afrotheria, Euarchontoglires (to wh...

متن کاملCladistic analysis reveals brainless urbilateria.
sister groups by any stretch of the imagination. In a very elegant paper, Moroz [2009] reviews the literature, subjects the data to a correct cladistic analysis, and concludes that centralized nervous systems have evolved independently, perhaps as many as seven times. In a particularly striking example, he demonstrates that complex brains have evolved at least three times in molluscans alone. H...
