Wrong Ape for Early Human Origins - The Chimpanzee As a Skewed Ancestral Model

Informationen zum Autor M. Kay Martin is independent scholar. Klappentext The Wrong Ape for Early Human Origins highlights the pervasive impact of the chimpanzee referential model on paleoanthropological theory. This work suggests the need to re-imagine the last common ancestor of chimps and humans based on a more generalized Miocene ape platform and the reliance of early hominins on epigenesis and creative niche construction.
