2. Comparative Anatomy and Phylogeny of Primate Muscles and Human Evolution

   By Rui Diogo, Bernard A. Wood

   The combined anatomical materials provided in this book point out that modern humans have fewer head, neck, pectoral and upper limb muscles than most other living primates, but are consistent with the proposal that facial and vocal communication and specialized thumb movements have probably played...

   Edited by Rui Diogo, Josep M. Potau, Juan F. Pastor, Felix J. dePaz, Eva M. Ferrero, Gaelle Bello, Mercedex Barbosa, Bernard A. Wood

   Even though the gorilla is our closest living relative, information about its anatomy, and particularly its musculature, is scarce. This book is the first photographic and descriptive musculoskeletal atlas of the gorilla. It includes high-quality photographs of musculoskeletal structures from most...

5. The Origin of Higher Clades

   Osteology, Myology, Phylogeny and Evolution of Bony Fishes and the Rise of Tetrapods

   By Rui Diogo

   The book provides insight on the osteology, myology, phylogeny and evolution of Osteichthyes.

6. Morphological Evolution, Adaptations, Homoplasies, Constraints, and Evolutionary Trends

   Catfishes as a Case Study on General Phylogeny & Macroevolution

   By Rui Diogo

   The major aim of this work is, to help clarify the interrelationships of catfishes, with major implications on the study of the general evolution of these fishes. A great part of this work, therefore, deals with a cladistic analysis of catfish higher-level phylogeny based on extensive morphological...
