A Reexamination of the Forelimb of the Miocene Hominoidea

Pp. xv, 205; 18 full page black-and-white photos, some other text-figures.  Publisher’s original dark blue cloth, lettered in gilt on the spine, 8vo.  This is Dr. Morbeck’s Ph.D. dissertation on a new study of the joint components of the Miocene hominoid forelimb fossils.  From this this study she concluded that none of these fossils were brachiators (arm-swingers).  From a morphological perspective their bones were more like extant monkeys rather than extant apes.  No ownership marks and no signs of use.
