Postcranium to inform hominin phylogeny: Asian paleoanthropology as a case study

Phylogenetic relationships of most hominin taxa are hotly debated. Traditionally, for analyses using morphology, those phylogenetic relationships have been studied thanks to craniodental anatomy. The postcranial skeleton has been withdrawn from these analyses because its morphology is considered as...

Description
Résumé:Phylogenetic relationships of most hominin taxa are hotly debated. Traditionally, for analyses using morphology, those phylogenetic relationships have been studied thanks to craniodental anatomy. The postcranial skeleton has been withdrawn from these analyses because its morphology is considered as changing too quickly through time, especially in relation to locomotory constraints. However, this premise has never been formally evaluated. Taking advantage of decades of research on hominin pos...
