“…The Brazilian Common Opossum -from the Methatheria clade -did not present the tensor fasciae latae muscle, responsible for the above mentioned movements of the hip and stifle joints, contrary to the anatomy of many eutherian species, including laboratory animals, domestic animals and primates [2,7,11,14,18,21,28,33,34]. Furthermore, femoral mechanical loading in opossum is different from other eutherian species as reported in Didelphis virginiana.…”

“…This character constellation (Table 2) suggests shifts in genes encoding regulatory and signaling molecules modifying fields underlying pedal structure (52). The human plantaris is hardly functional, but its retention and association with the plantar aponeurosis as in Old World monkeys (53) signals retention of primitive features from which specialized aspects [e.g., medial head of the quadratus plantae; posterior part of the long plantar ligament (33)] could have been readily derived under selection for advanced terrestrial bipedality.…”

Several elements of the Ardipithecus ramidus foot are preserved, primarily in the ARA-VP-6/500 partial skeleton. The foot has a widely abducent hallux, which was not propulsive during terrestrial bipedality. However, it lacks the highly derived tarsometatarsal laxity and inversion in extant African apes that provide maximum conformity to substrates during vertical climbing. Instead, it exhibits primitive characters that maintain plantar rigidity from foot-flat through toe-off, reminiscent of some Miocene apes and Old World monkeys. Moreover, the action of the fibularis longus muscle was more like its homolog in Old World monkeys than in African apes. Phalangeal lengths were most similar to those of Gorilla . The Ardipithecus gait pattern would thus have been unique among known primates. The last common ancestor of hominids and chimpanzees was therefore a careful climber that retained adaptations to above-branch plantigrady.

“…The C. libidinosus monkey-a prominent representative of the platyrrhines-has yet to be the subject of a comprehensive monograph on its anatomy, like the one that was published by Hartman and Straus (1933) about the catarrhine rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta). There are some unpublished doctoral dissertations on Cebus apella (e.g., Senft, 1907;Erikson, 1948) but these are not readily available.…”

Despite its abundance in Latin America, and its remarkable ability to use tools, there are only a few myological studies on the capuchin monkey, Cebus libidinosus. In the present study, we dissected the forearm extensor muscles of six adult males and two adult females of this species. We describe these muscles and compare them with those of other primates dissected by us and by other authors. The forearm extensor muscles of Cebus monkeys are, in general, more similar to those of other platyrrhines than to distantly related taxa that use tools, such as chimpanzees and modern humans, with three main exceptions: contrary to most other platyrrhines, (1) in Cebus, chimpanzees and modern humans the extensor pollicis longus usually inserts onto Digit I, and not onto Digits I and II; (2) in Cebus the abductor pollicis longus has two separate tendons, as is the case in chimpanzees, and in modern humans (where one of these tendons is associated with a distinct belly, forming the muscle extensor pollicis brevis); (3) in Cebus, and in modern humans and chimpanzees, the extensor pollicis longus is not deeply blended with the extensor indicis. Therefore, the Cebus monkeys provide an illustrative example of how phylogenetic constrains and ecological adaptations have been combined to develop a specific myological configuration that, associated with their sophisticated neurological organization, allow them to easily navigate in their arboreal habitats and, at the same time, to finely manipulate objects in order to search for food and to prepare this food for ingestion.
