Evidence of a chimpanzee-sized ancestor of humans but a gibbon-sized ancestor of apes

The pattern of body size evolution in hominids can provide insight into historical human ecology. Here, Grabowski and Jungers use comparative phylogenetic analysis to reconstruct the likely size of the ancestor of humans and chimpanzees and the evolutionary history of selection on body size in prima...
