Note on an Anthropoid Ape

Fatal Flexner Bacillus Infection in an Anthropoid Ape (Hylobates Hoolock)

It is of some interest, if not importance, to determine the pathogenicity or otherwise of the serological agents of human disease to the higher apes, since such studies may possibly throw light upon the evolution of human diseases. Thus Dobell (1930) has shown that Entamoeba histolytica parasitizes not only man, but also monkeys of genus Macacus, and probably other monkeys as well; the monkey s...

On Bahinia pondaungensis, an Alleged Early Anthropoid

In order to assess the orientation of the orbit of Bahinia, a middle Eocene fossil from Mynamar that has been interpreted as an anthropoid, laser surface scanning was used to develop three-dimensional models of the one facial specimen of Bahinia for comparison with Notharctus and Rooneyia, examples of a relatively early strepsirhine and haplorhine, respectively. Paired 3D montages were produced...

New perspectives on anthropoid origins.

Adaptive shifts associated with human origins are brought to light as we examine the human fossil record and study our own genome and that of our closest ape relatives. However, the more ancient roots of many human characteristics are revealed through the study of a broader array of living anthropoids and the increasingly dense fossil record of the earliest anthropoid radiations. Genomic data a...

APE: An AnsProlog* Environment

It has been recognised that better programming tools are required to support the logic programming paradigm of Answer Set Programming (ASP), especially when larger scale applications need to be developed. In order to meet this demand, the aspects of programming in ASP that require better support need to be investigated, and suitable tools to support them identified and implemented. In this pape...
