Regardless of whether these studies have been approached from a paleontological, morphological, developmental, biochemical, neuroanatomical, or behavioral point of view, one under lying theme has been a common interest in the possible phylogenetic relationships suggested by the results of such studies. In some cases, sound taxonomic principles have not been followed in the interpretation of these data, and this has led to skepticism among many taxonomists with regard to the validity of some of the genealogical relationships and conclusions suggested by comparative studies of living primates. It is generally agreed that the fossil record alone provides the essential time dimension for directly observing changes in characteristics, but unfortunately this record is limited both in the number of genera represented and particularly in the incomplete nature of the available preserved material. On the other hand, extensive comparative analyses of numerous characteristics in living primates have provided additional insight in | 出版日期 | Book 1975 | 关键词 | biology; mammals; phylogeny; primates; reptiles | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-2166-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-2168-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-2166-8 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1975 |
