Journal ArticleDOI
Locomotor adaptations as reflected on the humerus of paleogene primates.
TL;DR: Morphological evidence of Paleogene humeri suggest that vertical clinging and leaping behavior derived from grasp leaping at least six times independently, which is still the most pervasive form of primate locomotion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of postcranial evidence for the origin of euprimates
TL;DR: Analysis of the tarsus indicates that the ancestral euprimate differed from its plesiadapiform progenitor in features related to its increased ability to leap and climb using a grasp based on an opposable hallux.
Journal ArticleDOI
The oldest known primate skeleton and early haplorhine evolution

TL;DR: A nearly complete and partly articulated skeleton of a primitive haplorhine primate from the early Eocene of China, about 55 million years ago, is reported, the oldest fossil primate of this quality ever recovered and further constrains the age of divergence between tarsiiforms and anthropoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interrelationships among primate higher taxa
TL;DR: Features of the ankle and wrist joints of several adapiform taxa provide an independent test of the preceding hypotheses and suggest that lemuriforms are monophyletic with respect to knownAdapiforms, but that adAPiforms nevertheless are their stem lineage (sensu Ax26).
