英文摘要 | Shape analyses of cross-sectional mandibular molar morphology, using Euclidean Distance Matrix Analysis, were performed on 79 late Miocene hominoid lower molars from Yuanmou of Yunnan Province, China. These molars were compared to samples of chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan. Lufengpithecus lufengensis, Sivapithecus, Australopithecus afarensis, and human mandibular molars. Our results indicate that the cross-sectional shape of Yuanmou hominoid lower molars is more similar to the great apes than to humans. There al e few differences between the Yuanmou, L. lufengensis, and Sivapithecus molars in cross-sectional morphology, demonstrating strong affinities between these three late Miocene hominoids. All three of the fossil samples show strong similarities to orangutans. From this, we conclude that these late Miocene hominoids are more closely related to orangutans than to either the African great apes or humans.; Shape analyses of cross-sectional mandibular molar morphology, using Euclidean Distance Matrix Analysis, were performed on 79 late Miocene hominoid lower molars from Yuanmou of Yunnan Province, China.
