Soft Tissue Characters Supporting the Great Ape Clades
In my last post, I took a look at some morphological cladistic analyses of hominoids (apes) and tried to compile list of characters that supported the major clades: great apes, African great apes, and mangani (chimpanzees + humans). Unfortunately the studies I looked at only considered skeletal characters (and one of them only craniodental characters). Fortunately, a reader (Dartian) suggested some studies that look at soft tissue characters. I've just skimmed this paper:
