New resources:
Downloadable teaching resources on the role of hybridization in evolution, produced as part of the NSF funded project Morphological consequences of hybridization in primate and human evolution. Developed by Dr Laura Buck. Lecture 1: The role of hybridization in evolution Lecture 2: the role of hybridization in primate evolution, Lecture 3: The role of hybridization in human evolution.
Respository of digital data from admixed Rhesus macaques now accessible on MorphoSource. These data are from the sample of the the NSF funded project Morphological consequences of hybridization in primate and human evolution. Data will continue to be uploaded throughout the project, for more information contact Dr Laura Buck ([email protected]).
