A Dryopithecine Talus From Abocador de Can Mata (Vallès‐Penedès Basin, <scp>NE</scp> Iberian Peninsula): Morphometric Affinities and Evolutionary Implications for Hominoid Locomotion
Our results align with previous inferences derived from other postcranial elements of Middle Miocene dryopithecines and, given their classification as crown hominoids, support the hypothesis that certain suspensory adaptations shared by extant hylobatids and hominids likely evolved independently.
