Recent studies point to contact and possible admixture among contemporaneous hominin species during the Plio-Pleistocene. However, detection of hybridization in fossils-and especially fossil hominins-is contentious, and it is hindered in large part by our lack of understanding about how morphological hybridity is manifested in the primate skeleton. Here, we report on a study of known-pedigree, purebred yellow and olive baboons (n = 112) and their hybrids (n = 57), derived from the baboon colony… Expand
