African fossil tali: further multivariate morphometric studies

F P Lisowski, G H Albrecht

    American Journal of Physical Anthropology
    |July 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Fossil primate tali from Africa reveal five distinct groups, differing from modern African primates. Their unique positions suggest varied locomotor adaptations potentially linked to climbing, unlike modern human bipedalism.
