Comparative Anatomical Study of the Carotid Circulation in New and Old World Primates

Implications for Their Evolutionary History

  • Chapter
Evolutionary Biology of the New World Monkeys and Continental Drift

Part of the book series: Advances in Primatology ((AIPR))

Abstract

A comprehensive comparative anatomical investigation of the carotid circulation in several mammalian orders, viz., insectivores, primates, rodents, lagomorphs, edentates, pangolins and carnivores (cf. Bugge, 1974b, 1975a, 1978), has shown the cephalic arterial pattern to be an important supplement to other morphological systems, especially tooth morphology and osteology, as a basis for a systematic classification of mammals, reflecting their probable evolutionary history and phylogenetic relationships.

This research was supported by a grant from the Danish State Research Foundation.
