| dc.description.abstract | An early Miocene (18-20 mya) distal humerus from Napak, Uganda, is the only
element of the forelimb to be allocated to African Lorisinae. Its loris-like features distinguish it from
other East African material that more closely resembles galagids. Tracing the evolution of the lorisoid
body has been a difficult task due to the lack of good fossil material. Here, we add a single specimen
to this poor record. This humerus helps to document the beginning of extant lorisid locomotor
specialization and function. | en_US |
