Integrates two practices in paleobiology which are often separated - functional and phylogenetic analysis. This book summarizes the evidence on paleoenvironments at the most important Miocene hominoid sites and relates it to the pertinent fossil record. It includes the functional anatomy of the hominoids of this period of ape and human evolution.
