## Abstract The modal number of lumbar vertebrae in modern humans is five. It varies between three and four in extant African apes (mean=3.5). Because both chimpanzees (__Pan troglodytes__) and gorillas (__Gorilla gorilla__) possess the same distributions of thoracic, lumbar, and sacral vertebrae,
Developmental constraints refer to biases that limit phenotypic changes during evolution. To examine the contribution of developmental constraints in the evolution of vertebrate morphology, we analyzed the distribution pattern of mammalian vertebral formulae. Data on mammalian vertebral formulae wer
