Abstract

The study of basicranial foramina has played an important role in primatological investigations. They are often the only clues for deciphering cerebral vascular evolution in fossil forms. This study illustrates the significance of considering foraminal shape when analyzing or describing basicranial anatomy in living and fossil primates. It is suggested that certain hemodynamic properties of cerebral venous drainage in Cebus represent patterns that were most likely present in ancestral catarrhines.
