A Macaque Model for the Effects of Hybridization on Body Size
Our results suggest that hybridization between closely related taxa, such as Neanderthals and H. sapiens, may lead to more subtle morphological patterns than previously anticipated. It will be necessary, however, to better understand the factors governing primate hybrid morphology before we can produce robust inferences on how hybridization has affected hominin evolution.
