   Abstract:
   A DETAILED study of feeding behaviour and tooth use has been made in four extant primates, Tupaia, Galago, Saimiri, and Ateles, using a combination of cinefluorography and occlusal analysis. These primates were chosen because they form a structural series: a parallel series of fossil primates, Palenochtha, Pelycodus and Aegyptopithecus has also been studied. © 1972 Nature Publishing Group.
