Abstract
Univariate analysis of the mesiodistal and buccolingual crown diameters of Cercocebus albigena, Cercopithecus aethiops and Cercopithecus ascanius revealed a complex pattern of contrasts depending upon which tooth dimension was compared. By contrast, multivariate analysis discriminated between the dentitions of Cercocebus albigena on the one hand and Cercopithecus aethiops and Cercopithecus ascanius on the other hand, but whether these differences reflected genetic or environmental factors requires further data.Keywords
