Chimpanzees, including bonobos and common chimpanzees, are our
closest living relatives. However, surprisingly, the information
about the soft tissues of bonobos is very scarce, making it
difficult to discuss and understand human evolution. This book,
which is the first photographic and descriptive musculoskeletal
atlas of bonobos (Pan paniscus), adopts the same format as the
photographic atlases of other apes previously published by the same
authors. These books are part of a series of monographs that will
set out the comparative and phylogenetic context of the gross
anatomy and evolutionary history of the soft tissue morphology of
modern humans and their closest relatives. The present atlas, which
includes detailed high quality photographs of the musculoskeletal
structures from most anatomical regions of the body as well as
textual information about the attachments, innervation, function
and weight of the respective muscles, is based on dissections of
seven bonobos, including adults, adolescents, infants and fetuses,
and males and females, and on an extensive review of the literature
for comparisons with common chimpanzees. It therefore provides an
updated review of the anatomical variations within chimpanzees as
well as an extensive list of synonyms used in the literature to
designate the structures covered here. Moreover, contrary to the
previous photographic atlases of apes, it also provides details on
neurovascular structures such as the brachial and lumbrosacral
plexuses. The book will therefore be of interest to students,
teachers and researchers focusing on primatology, comparative
anatomy, functional morphology, zoology, and physical anthropology
and to medical students, doctors and researchers who are curious
about the origin, evolution, homology and variations of the
musculoskeletal and neurovascular structures of modern humans.
