About this title

Synopsis

this study is a groundbreaking effort in the application of modern mathematics to the problems in biology. The author uses the method of multivariate statistical analysis to investigate a specific problem in evolutionary biology - the possible relation of a group of African fossils (the australopithecines) to the anatomy of certain kinds of living primates, including humans.... This study will be of interest to all students of the problems of human evolution. The author describes and illustrates his mathematical methods so readers with no mathematical knowledge may still receive a basic understanding of the arguments presented.
