HOMINID EVOLUTION

Central to our concern with natural selection is the apparent fit between organisms and their environments. According to both advocates 3,8 and critics of adaptationist thinking, the external world sets certain problems that organisms solve. Natural selec-

## Abstract Inter‐group differences in tooth size and attrition scores in fossil hominids from the late Riss, WΓΌrm I–II and WΓΌrm III–IV were compared to determine: (1) the extent and timing of reduction in tooth size; (2) the relation of such reduction to decreased functional demands made on the de

## Abstract Field observations of bipedal posture and locomotion in wild chimpanzees (__Pan troglodytes__) can serve as key evidence for reconstructing the likely origins of bipedalism in the last prehominid human ancestor. This paper reports on a sample of bipedal bouts, recorded ad libitum, in wi
