Numbers of Vertebrae in Hominoid Evolution
Abstract
Vertebral formulae, the combination of regional numbers of vertebrae making up the bony spine, vary across vertebrates and within hominoid primates. Reconstructing the ancestral vertebral formulae throughout hominoid evolution has proved a challenge due to limited fossil evidence and disagreement among researchers. Proposed “long-backed” and “short-backed” ancestors have implications for the evolution of bipedalism and human evolutionary history...
