The Evolution of the Primate Hand Anatomical, Developmental, Functional, and Paleontological Evidence /
This book demonstrates how the primate hand combines both primitive and novel morphology, both general function with specialization, and both a remarkable degree of diversity within some clades and yet general similarity across many others. Across the chapters, different authors have addressed a var...
