TL;DR: New regression equations for predicting body weight in fossil primates are given which provide body-weight estimates for most nonhominid primate species in the fossil record, and the predicted fossil-primate body weights differ substantially from previous estimates.

TL;DR: Results show that endocranial capacity in this specimen is less than originally proposed and also support the view that gracile and robust australopithecines evolved different cranial venous outflow patterns in response to upright postures.

TL;DR: An enlarged occipital-marginal venous sinus system occurs in much higher frequencies in cranial remains of robust australopithecines and Australopithecus afarensis than in crania representing other fossil or extant hominids.

TL;DR: Although this report is the first to demonstrate a significantly longer left Sylvian fissure in rhesus monkeys, the results are in keeping with psychophysical evidence that suggests that Macaca is left hemisphere dominant for perception of meaningful vocalizations.

TL;DR: Tooth emergence data from a mixed-longitudinal sample of 58 chimpanzees of known age were analyzed using probit and survival techniques to produce median emergence ages, ranges of variability, and emergence sequences for primary and permanent teeth and indicate that males achieve a given number of emerged teeth at a significantly later age than females.
