RIP Bill Jungers. I was fortunate to do a postdoc in Bill's lab at Stony Brook University, working on Homo floresiensis fossils. He was as kind a mentor & friend as he was a collosal expert in the functional anatomy of primates from "hobbits" to lemurs.

New research describes and illustrates the anatomy of the ear region in Philippine flying lemur, based on CT scans. Unique ear features shed light on cranial anatomy of Dermoptera, which is believed to be the sister group of Primates. New study by J Wible
