Chapter 32.12, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The distinguishing features listed by researchers between apes and humans.
Introduction:
We refer to humans and apes in the lineage group, Hominoidea. Anthropoids, a monophyletic Haplorhine lineage, gives rise to two lineages: one ancestral to old world monkeys and another related to humans and apes. The earliest ‘hominoid’ (ape) fossils date to the early Miocene, approximately 23 million years ago but the oldest known old world monkeys were reported several years later.
