Explores different perspectives on Miocene hominoids with the goal of reaching consensus not on what actually happened but on how to proceed with the study of the subject. Focuses on a few of the best-known genera but ranges wide on issues related to both function and phylogeny. The 18 refereed papers discuss the research of the past three decades, the relationship between functioning morphology and Miocene environments, the functional anatomy and phyletic implications of the hominoid trunk and hindlimb, mandibles, and other topics. Among the eight genera highlighted are Proconsul, Afropithecus, Sivapithecus, Ouranophithecus, and Lufengpithecus. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
