Comparative Primate Bone Microstructure: Records of Life History, Function, and Phylogeny

  • Chapter
Mammalian Evolutionary Morphology

Part of the book series: Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology Series ((VERT))

The study of comparative osteology has yielded an abundant literature regarding the form, function and biological roles of bones and whole skeletons. These data have been variably applied to the fossil record, contributing to the reconstruction of locomotion, life history features and the evolutionary histories of the better-known extinct animals, yet many questions regarding the paleobiology of fossil taxa remain. The vast majority of work to date has examined whole bones and their macroscopically defined parts, rather than their microstructure. However, such inquiry often suffers from superficial analogies with living taxa, as well as from the frequent incompleteness of fossil material (e.g., Szalay, 2000; Szalay and Sargis, 2001). These shortcomings in turn limit phylogenetic interpretations.
