Body size and joint posture in primates.
29 Sep 2009 
Body mass has been shown in experimental and comparative morphological studies to have a significant effect on joint posture in major limb joints. The generalizability of experimental studies is limited by their use of small sample sizes and limited ... Read more...
The social brain hypothesis and its implications for social evolution.
30 Aug 2009 The social brain hypothesis was proposed as an explanation for the fact that primates have unusually large brains for body size compared to all other vertebrates: Primates evolved large brains to manage their unusually complex social systems. ... Read more...
Do great apes use emotional expressions to infer desires?
30 Aug 2009 Although apes understand others' goals and perceptions, little is known about their understanding of others' emotional expressions. We conducted three studies following the general paradigm of Repacholi and colleagues (1997, 1998). In Study 1, a ... Read more...
