Abstract

The relative scaling of body parts to body size is an important consideration in modern primatology. Allometric studies allow investigation of changes in shape that occur in conjunction with changes in body size separately from those independent of body size change, the latter often a result of significant new adaptations (Aiello, 1981; Gould, 1975).
