✦ Synopsis

Homoplasy is a ubiquitous phenomenon in phylogenetic investigations, but it is rarely investigated on its own. As a case study in the pattern and basis of homoplasy in primates, the atelid postcranium is discussed here. Characters available from Ford's ([1986] in

Homoplasy has been a prominent issue in primate systematics and phylogeny for as long as people have been studying human evolution. In the past, homoplasy, in the form of parallel evolution, was often considered the dominant theme in primate evolution. Today, it receives blame for difficulties in ph
