A fragment from the work by Bischoff TLW. Beiträge zur Anatomie des Gorilla (1879). The paper discusses the size of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) of gorilla.

 

Quote p. 18.

5. Muskeln der unteren Extremität.

Ich erwähne zunächst, dass mein Gorilla an dem mehr als eine Halbkugel bildenden Schenkelkopf ein ansehnlich langes Ligam. teres besitzt.


Translation

[Eng]

5. Muscles of the lower limbs.

First of all, I would like to point out that my gorilla has a rather long round ligament on the head of the femur, which forms more than one hemisphere.

Australopithecus afarensis

  AUSTRALOPITHECUS AFARENSIS In 1735, Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) placed humans as a species «Homo nosce te ipsum» in the order Anthropomorpha along with monkeys and sloths (1735LinneC). In a publication in 1758, the naturalist transferred humans to the order Primates (1758LinneC). Today, humans and chimpanzees are united in the tribe Hominini, as descended from a common ancestor (2001GrovesCP). It has been established that the chromosome that distinguishes humans from monkeys was formed before 4.5 Ma (2022PoszewieckaB_GambinA). The hominin subfamily Sahelanthropus tchadensis lived in the Republic of Chad (Central Africa) from 7.2±0.31 to 6.8±0.45 Ma (2008LebatardAE_BrunetM; 2012ReynoldsSC_GallagherA). Reconstruction of its musculoskeletal system showed that the creature could have been an upright bipedal primate (2005ZollikoferCP_BrunetM). Fossils of what is probably the first bipedal representative of the hominid family Orrorin tugenensis, lived 6.1-5.7 Ma and still retained adapta...

Primates

  Primates: Prosimii & Anthropoidea In the Late Devonian, or 367.5 Ma, the Amniota branch arose from amphibians (2011PyronRA). In that cohort, synapsids (Synapsid) initially emerged, followed by sauropsida (Sauropsida), and then reptiles (Reptilia) (1995LaurinM_ReiszRR). The first representatives of the reptile-like (Reptilomorpha) tetrapods colonized the continents 363-290 Ma (1995LundbergJG).  The earliest synapsid is recognized as Asaphestera platyris from the early Pennsylvanian subperiod, which lasted from 323.2 ± 0.4 to 315.2 ± 0.2 Ma (2020MannA_AndersonJS; 2023CohenKM_CarN). According to molecular clock data, mammals (Mammalia), also called animals (Theria), separated 310 Ma from the lineage that extended to reptiles (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The first animals that suckled their young with milk stood out among the primitive synapsids - the ancestors of cynodonts (Cynodontia) (2013VaughanTA_CzaplewskiNJ). The oldest mammal Liaoconodon hui was found in deposits of the e...
