  • Evolution of the Human Pelvis
    COMMENTARY THE ANATOMICAL RECORD 300:789–797 (2017) Evolution of the Human Pelvis 1 2 KAREN R. ROSENBERG * AND JEREMY M. DESILVA 1Department of Anthropology, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware 2Department of Anthropology, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire ABSTRACT No bone in the human postcranial skeleton differs more dramatically from its match in an ape skeleton than the pelvis. Humans have evolved a specialized pelvis, well-adapted for the rigors of bipedal locomotion. Pre- cisely how this happened has been the subject of great interest and con- tention in the paleoanthropological literature. In part, this is because of the fragility of the pelvis and its resulting rarity in the human fossil record. However, new discoveries from Miocene hominoids and Plio- Pleistocene hominins have reenergized debates about human pelvic evolu- tion and shed new light on the competing roles of bipedal locomotion and obstetrics in shaping pelvic anatomy. In this issue, 13 papers address the evolution of the human pelvis. Here, we summarize these new contribu- tions to our understanding of pelvic evolution, and share our own thoughts on the progress the field has made, and the questions that still remain. Anat Rec, 300:789–797, 2017. VC 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Key words: pelvic evolution; hominin; Australopithecus; bipedalism; obstetrics When Jeffrey Laitman contacted us about coediting a (2017, this issue) finds that humans, like other homi- special issue for the Anatomical Record on the evolution noids, have high sacral variability with a large percent- of the human pelvis, we were thrilled. The pelvis is hot age of individuals possessing the non-modal number of right now—thanks to new fossils (e.g., Morgan et al., sacral vertebrae.

The study refines the description of its forelimb bones, which was mostly based on a single partial skeleton. The most distinctive feature of the distal humerus is a large, globular, medially tilted capitulum. The groove between the capitulum and the zona conoidea is quite deep. The medial part of the humeral trochlea is also diagnostic in show- ing a less salient medial border. The medial epicondyle is moderately long and more posteriorly reflected than was previously presumed. The coronoid process of the ulna is quite wide. Its medial portion is dis- tinctly concave. The ulnar shaft is anteroposteriorly deep in its proximal half, slender, straight in frontal view, and weakly anteriorly bowing.

The 25 Hiwegi Formation has three fossil leaf-rich intervals: Kiahera Hill, R5, and R3. Here, we made 26 new fossil collections from Kiahera Hill and R3 and compared these floras to previous work 27 from R5 as well as modern African floras. The Kiahera Hill flora was most similar to a modern 28 tropical rainforest or tropical seasonal forest and was a warm and wet, closed forest. This was 29 followed by a relatively dry and open environment at R5, and R3, which was most similar to a 30 modern tropical seasonal forest, was a warm and wet spatially heterogenous forest.

  • Wrist Morphology Reveals Substantial Locomotor Diversity Among Early
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Wrist morphology reveals substantial locomotor diversity among early catarrhines: an Received: 13 June 2018 Accepted: 24 January 2019 analysis of capitates from the early Published: xx xx xxxx Miocene of Tinderet (Kenya) Craig Wuthrich 1,2, Laura M. MacLatchy1 & Isaiah O. Nengo3,4 Considerable taxonomic diversity has been recognised among early Miocene catarrhines (apes, Old World monkeys, and their extinct relatives). However, locomotor diversity within this group has eluded characterization, bolstering a narrative that nearly all early catarrhines shared a primitive locomotor repertoire resembling that of the well-described arboreal quadruped Ekembo heseloni. Here we describe and analyse seven catarrhine capitates from the Tinderet Miocene sequence of Kenya, dated to ~20 Ma. 3D morphometrics derived from these specimens and a sample of extant and fossil capitates are subjected to a series of multivariate comparisons, with results suggesting a variety of locomotor repertoires were present in this early Miocene setting. One of the fossil specimens is uniquely derived among early and middle Miocene capitates, representing the earliest known instance of great ape- like wrist morphology and supporting the presence of a behaviourally advanced ape at Songhor. We suggest Rangwapithecus as this catarrhine’s identity, and posit expression of derived, ape-like features as a criterion for distinguishing this taxon from Proconsul africanus. We also introduce a procedure for quantitative estimation of locomotor diversity and fnd the Tinderet sample to equal or exceed large extant catarrhine groups in this metric, demonstrating greater functional diversity among early catarrhines than previously recognised. While catarrhines (the clade including Old World monkeys and apes) of the early Miocene (ca.
