bout the historical path of evolution is a graphical representation called a phylogenetic tree. In most such graphics, pairs of branches diverge from other branches, successively marching across abstract time toward the present. To each branch is tied a tag with a name, a binominal symbol that funct

Geographic Variation in Primatesvariation in the skulls and teeth of living primates and, then, to discuss the problems and prospects of dealing with such variation among fossils. We begin with some general background observations about geographic variation and speciation in primates.

Since the majority of fossil specimens consist of teeth, a good deal of this debate centers on the interpretation of dental variation.

Measures of Dental Variation as Indicators of Multiple Taxa in Samples of Sympatric , Speciesvestigating systematic diversity (Gingerich, 1974, 1979; Gingerich and Shoeninger, 1979; Kay, 1982a,b; Kay and Simons, 1983; Kelley, 1986; Kimbel and White, 1988; Martin and Andrews, 1984; Simpson, 1941a, and many others). The coefficient of variation (CV) has been the most frequently used statistic in a majority of these studies.

Anagenetic Angst87 and references therein; Gingerich, 1989; Krause and Maas, 1990). The event marks the onset of the Wasatchian Land Mammal Age. Subsequently, these and other groups underwent an explosive radiation that is well preserved in Eocene deposits, especially those in intermontane basins in the Western Interior.
