TL;DR: It is found that humans and great apes have a well-formed motor-hand area that can be seen in the variation in depth of the CS along the dorsal-ventral plane, and that great apes has relatively large CS surface areas compared to Old World monkeys.

TL;DR: This work analyzes the relationship between sampling effort and inaccuracy in evolvability and integration statistics calculated from 10‐trait matrices with varying patterns of covariation and magnitudes of integration and shows that highly inaccurate estimates of evolvable statistics resulting from small sample sizes are likely common in the literature.

TL;DR: The findings show a complex and changing pattern of natural selection drove hominin hip evolution, and that many, but not all, traits hypothesized to play functional roles in bipedalism evolved as a direct result ofnatural selection.

TL;DR: This analysis yielded a novel 3/5 scaling exponent for primate brain-body evolutionary allometry, which supported an evolutionary model in which brain size is directly constrained to evolve in unison with body size, rather than adapting to changes in the latter.
