The Evolution of the Primate Foot: Anatomy, Function, and Palaeontological Evidence
Angel Zeininger, Kevin G. Hatala, Roshna E. Wunderlich, Daniel Schmitt
foot and its evolutionary antecedents is followed by sections on foot anatomy in modern primates, on experimental studies of foot function during locomotion, and on the functional osteology of the foot in fossil hominins and other primates. As readers proceed through the book chapter by chapter, they will be struck not only by the importance of the grasping foot as a fundamental adaptation of the primate order but
also by the primate foot’s sensitive adaptations to subtle diversities in locomotor behavior.
