Comparative Neuroanatomy of Prosimian Primates: Some Basic Concepts Bearing on the Evolution of Upright Locomotion

  • Chapter
Perspectives in Primate Biology

Part of the book series: Advances in Behavioral Biology ((ABBI,volume 9))

Abstract

The mammalian nervous system is composed of (1) nervous elements, which are highly specialized for irritability and conductivity, and (2) supportive non-nervous elements. The nervous elements are called neurons and the supportive elements are the neuroglial cells and a limited amount of connective tissue.

“From a consideration of the details of comparative anatomy of living forms and from the evidence now available from fossil hominoids, it appears reasonably certain (and, indeed, is agreed by authorities who hold widely differing views on a number of phylogenetic details) that the most important single factor in the evolutionary emergence of Hominidae as a separate and independent line of development was related to the specialized functions of erect bipedal locomotion.” Le Gros Clark, 1964
