Craniofacial variation and developmental divergence in primate and human evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Many questions about developmental divergence in human (and non-human primate) evolution can be fruitfully explored through investigation of the extant primate phenotype. Here I discuss two approaches that use patterns of variation in extant primates to consider hypotheses of 'tinkering' both in their own lineages, and also as applied to the fossil record of human evolution. In the first, I show how comparisons...
