  1. ncbi Developmental changes in the shape of the supralaryngeal vocal tract in chimpanzees
    Takeshi Nishimura
    Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, Inuyama, Aichi 484 8506, Japan
    Am J Phys Anthropol 126:193-204. 2005
    ..These results support the hypothesis that the descent of the larynx evolved in at least two steps during hominoid evolution...
  2. ncbi Comparative morphology of the hyo-laryngeal complex in anthropoids: two steps in the evolution of the descent of the larynx
    Takeshi Nishimura
    Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, 41 Kanrin, Inuyama, Aichi 484 8506, Japan
    Primates 44:41-9. 2003
    ..The second step, descent of the hyoid within the neck, occurred during hominid evolution for human speech...
  3. ncbi Descent of the hyoid in chimpanzees: evolution of face flattening and speech
    Takeshi Nishimura
    Laboratory of Physical Anthropology, Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Sakyo, Kyoto 606 8502, Japan
    J Hum Evol 51:244-54. 2006
    ..Thus, the descent of the larynx per se is not unique to humans, and facial flattening was probably the major factor that paved the way for speech in the human lineage...
  4. ncbi Variation in maxillary sinus anatomy among platyrrhine monkeys
    Takeshi D Nishimura
    Laboratory of Physical Anthropology, Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Kitashirakawa Oiwake cho, Sakyo, Kyoto 606 8502, Japan
    J Hum Evol 49:370-89. 2005
    ..Finally, we argue that the sinus that pneumatizes the entire maxilla is a primitive feature in extant platyrrhines and was probably shared by the last common ancestor of the anthropoids...
  5. ncbi Reassessment of Dolichopithecus (Kanagawapithecus) leptopostorbitalis, a colobine monkey from the Late Pliocene of Japan
    Takeshi D Nishimura
    Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, Inuyama, Aichi, Japan
    J Hum Evol 62:548-61. 2012
    ..Nevertheless, such phylogenetic interpretations are largely dependent on the restricted fossil evidence from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of eastern Eurasia and will be reexamined when new findings are made...

    Takeshi D Nishimura
    Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, Inuyama, Japan nishimur pri kyoto u ac jp
    Folia Primatol (Basel) 81:53-62. 2010
    ..Eastern Para. gansuensis might have dispersed eastward retaining a primitive condition, while central Para. sushkini would have acquired this feature independently in central Eurasia...
  7. ncbi Descent of the larynx in chimpanzee infants
    Takeshi Nishimura
    Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, Inuyama, Aichi 484 8506, Japan
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100:6930-3. 2003
    ..Thus, the descent of the larynx and the morphological foundations for speech production must have evolved in part during hominoid evolution, and not in a single shift during hominid evolution...
  8. ncbi A case report of a novel type of stick use by wild chimpanzees
    Takeshi Nishimura
    Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, 41 Kanrin, Inuyama, Aichi 484 8506, Japan
    Primates 44:199-201. 2003
    ..This type of stick use by wild chimpanzees has not been recorded in any habitat. This finding should contribute to future studies and discussions of variations in tool use and cultural processes among wild chimpanzees...

    Masanaru Takai
    Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, Inuyama, Japan
    Front Oral Biol 13:55-9. 2009
    ..Moreover, the coexistence of large orbits and canine dimorphism suggests the presence of mosaic evolution in the craniodental characters of the Aotus lineage...
  11. ncbi The maxillary sinus of Paradolichopithecus sushkini (late Pliocene, southern Tajikistan) and its phyletic implications
    Takeshi D Nishimura
    Laboratory of Physical Anthropology, Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606 8502, Japan
    J Hum Evol 52:637-46. 2007
    ..sushkini probably belongs to the macaque lineage rather than that of baboons, although structural influences of the maxillary fossa leading to formation of the maxillary sinus have yet to be evaluated in extant macaques and baboons...
