Platyrrhine contribution to the phylogeny of the Primates
The morphology of the skeleton of both extant and fossil Platyrrhini often suggests an image of the ancestry of higher Primates, Man included. Here we give a survey of the characters of common origin to both groups. Reciprocally, a number of such original characters are seen to be maintained in mode...

| Summary: | The morphology of the skeleton of both extant and fossil Platyrrhini often suggests an image of the ancestry of higher Primates, Man included. Here we give a survey of the characters of common origin to both groups. Reciprocally, a number of such original characters are seen to be maintained in modern Man, thereby placing him along a direct and singular evolutionary lineage.
La morphologie du squelette des Platyrhiniens actuels et fossiles donne souvent l'image de l'ancêtre des Primates supérieurs, homme inclus. Une revue des caractères d'origine communs aux uns et aux autres est établie. Par voie de retour, l'homme actual s'avère avoir conservé nombreux ces caractères d'origine, ce qui le place sur une lignée évolutive directe et singulière. |
