Abstract
Among Primates the lorisine lemurs, platyrrhine Atelinae, catarrhine Colobinae, orang, chimpanzee, and gorilla may possess one or more stunted or rudimentary digits such as the 5th toe of man. The significance of this is obscure excepting in the case of a stunted thumb, which seems to be correlated with "brachia-tion.".This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
