What's the difference between anthropoid and apelike?
Anthropoid
Definition:
(a.) Resembling man; -- applied especially to certain apes, as the ourang or gorilla.
(n.) An anthropoid ape.
Example Sentences:
(1) This approximately 40-Myr-old specimen is the first fossil primate found in Burma since the fragmentary remains of the controversial earliest anthropoids Pondaungia cotteri Pilgrim and Amphipithecus mogaungensis Colbert were recovered more than 50 yr ago.
(2) Our findings are used to infer the original habitat in which proto-red howlers may have acquired such adaptations and to hypothesize that climbing and its related anatomy are a primitive condition for anthropoids.
(3) The power and versatility of these computer-imaging techniques are demonstrated by examining living subjects with major craniofacial dysmorphology (Treacher-Collins syndrome and unilateral coronal synostosis); an anthropoid osteological specimen (Gorilla); and a fossil mammal skull.
(4) In the cerebro-cerebellar system of anthropoid apes and humans, the cerebellum seems able to contribute not only to motor skills but also to mental and language skills.
(5) In the parts of the 5'-flanking region where no gene conversions have been detected, gamma 2-gene sequences have accumulated more nucleotide changes than gamma 1, which suggests that the gamma 2 gene was the more redundant duplicate that may have accumulated first the nucleotide changes responsible for the anthropoid fetal pattern of gamma-globin gene expression.
(6) Rather, they suggest that granular frontal cortex underwent considerable change during primate evolution, including the addition of new areas in anthropoids.
(7) We subjected individuals of four species of cranes (Anthropoides virgo, Balearica regulorum, Grus grus and Grus japonensis) to acute heat stress to investigate the effectiveness of this trait as a thermoregulatory adaptation.
(8) The lamination pattern of Callithrix thun represents an intermediate stage between a four-layered LGN suggested as the basic primate pattern, and the advanced six-layered LGN of most other anthropoid monkeys.
(9) Each species displays a unique glycophorin profile; in anthropoid apes the profile is more complex than in Old World monkeys and more similar to that seen in humans.
(10) In all anthropoid species, the coding region of the involucrin gene contains a segment of short tandem repeats that were added sequentially, beginning in a common anthropoid ancestor.
(11) The bipedal locomotor cycles of human subjects are accompanied by many more biphasic and triphasic EMG patterns in the thigh muscles than the locomotor cycles of other anthropoid primates are.
(12) Lineage divergences within the anthropoids can be detected at different sites within the modern segment.
(13) Differences between this herbivore and anthropoid primates can be attributed to differences in anatomy of the oral apparatus.
(14) If the primate suborder Haplorhini (anthropoids, omomyids, tarsiids) is monophyletic, the phylogenetic position of Shoshonius requires that anthropoids and Tarsius diverged by at least the early Eocene, some 15 million years before the first appearance of anthropoids in the fossil record.
(15) In 57 species of anthropoids relative size of incisors in highly correlated with diet.
(16) In these two anthropoid apes, both endothelial cells and red blood cells expressed ABH antigens as in humans.
(17) In both anthropoids, the topography of the dorsal surfaces was similar to that of the man; in both left sides area tr 1 c could not be subdivided; on the right side the differentiation between the subareae of tr 1 i and tr 1 c was even not possible.
(18) Bigger primate brains exhibit a higher degree of fissurization, but a taxonomic difference that is independent of brain weight between prosimians and anthropoids has also been observed.
(19) The middle region is not similar in repeat structure to that of all anthropoids but is similar to that of other hominoids.
(20) Recent paleontological collections at the middle Miocene locality of Maboko Island in Kenya, dated at 15-16 million years, have yielded numerous new specimens belonging to at least five species of fossil anthropoids.
Apelike
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) While most older palaeo-anthropological studies emphasise the similarities of the fossil hominids with modern man, recent studies often stress the unique and the apelike features of the australopithecine dentitions, skulls and postcranial bones.
