Size- and locomotion-related aspects of hominid and anthropoid pelves: An osteometrical multivariate analysisHuman Evolution - Tập 6 - Trang 365-376 - 1991
Ch. Berge
Two multivariate methods — the logarithmic principal component analysis (LPCA), and the logarithmic factorial analysis (LFA) — have been used tocompare the hip bone proportions of hominoids biometrically. The results have shown that size effects among apes and hominids interact to a centain extent with locomotor specializations, which are related to the attainment of more or less terrestrial behav...... hiện toàn bộ
The roots of ethics: an anthropological approachHuman Evolution - Tập 6 - Trang 461-469 - 1991
F. Facchini
The roots of ethics are to be found within man's freedom and his ability to pursue values from the choices he makes. These values may be sought within the structure of the human being. Some of these values will correspond to man's vital needs (such as socializing, cooperation, family ties, etc.), yet they are not to be interpreted as being genetically determined, since they are consciously interio...... hiện toàn bộ
An application of isoelectric focusing to non-human primates hair KeratinHuman Evolution - Tập 8 - Trang 1-9 - 1993
M. Folin, P. Zanella, C. Contiero
This study is an investigation on the Keratin of hair coming from 51 non-human Primates belonging to 11 families and 37 different species, using isoelectric focusing on thin layer of polyacrylmide gel (0.5 mm) in pH range 2.5–7.0 followed by silver staining. Our results highlight that animals belonging to the same species have identical isoelectrophoretic patterns. It was proved forLemur fulvus, M...... hiện toàn bộ
Hoc alterum auditus organi ossiculum est: Ear Ossicles in Physical AnthropologyHuman Evolution - Tập 21 - Trang 1-17 - 2006
Melchiorre Masali, Margherita Micheletti Cremasco
In spite of the importance of auditory ossicles in anthropological studies, very little attention has been paid to these bones, which are only rarely recovered in archaeological excavations and in osteological collections. In this paper, we attempt to review some studies that started in the 1960 from when we first collected and prepared ossicles from the early Egyptian osteological collection of G...... hiện toàn bộ
Geology and fauna of the middle Miocene hominoid site at Muruyur, Baringo district, KenyaHuman Evolution - Tập 3 - Trang 381-390 - 1988
M. Pickford
The middle Miocene sediments assigned to the Muruyur Beds have yielded abundant faunal remains which indicate an age somewhere near the early part of the middle Miocene, perhaps being earlier in time than Fort Ternan but probably coeval or slightly later than Maboko. Available radioisotopic age determinations suggest that the beds are between 13.5 and 14 m.y. old, which seems to be too young when ...... hiện toàn bộ
