	Amazon.ca: Primate Taxonomy: Books: Colin Groves (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		That Colin Groves' latest taxonomic revision is published in an attractive volume and sold on amazon.com testifies to the importance of primate taxonomy to many disciplines.
		Groves has discovered over time, via careful museum research, that a large number of primate taxa named long ago but later uncritically synonymized and soon enough forgotten, are actually distinctive and recognizable species.
		Colin Groves needs no introduction in the area of taxonomy of many non-primate species, most recently, in resolving the question whether the African bush elephant is a subspecies, or a species in its own right (the latter).

	Colin Groves: 'Australia for the Australians'
		Colin Pardoc found that Tasmanian skulls were as close to those from the south-eastern mainland as if the Bass Strait did not exist.
		Colin Groves is Professor of Biological Anthropology at the Australian National University.
		In the opening paragraph of this essay, Colin Groves refers to an episode of Ockham's Razor broadcast in April 2002, in which freelance journalist and author David Tribe replied to an Ockham's Razor talk by Cassi Plate on past and present racism in Australia, which was broadcast in March 2002.

		Dr Groves said it was unexpected to find a sika deer in a tropical region.

		In Canberra is Dr Colin Groves, Professor of Biological Anthropology at the Australian National University.
		COLIN GROVES: Yes, I agree with Tim that it is absolutely astonishing that so recently a completely different species of human was there, and it also illustrates, of course, that like other animals, we dwarfed on small islands, in other words, we're not immune from the laws of nature.
		COLIN GROVES: Well, it reinforces the view to which, in fact, Jeff Schwartz subscribes as well, I know, that there were lots and lots of different species in the human fossil record, and it now becomes impossible to pretend that they were all part of a general mass evolving into homo sapiens.

		Most of these progenitors were regional variants of the Eurasian wild pig (Sus scrofa) but, as Groves (1981) revealed, the Sulawesi warty pig (S. celebensis) has also been domesticated, and its purebred, hybrid and feral derivatives are still hunted and husbanded in various parts of South-east Asia and the Papuan Realm.
		In clarifying the affinities and distribution of innumerable naturalized populations, many of which were erroneously recognized as valid taxa, Groves also helped to clear the dross and provide a contextual framework for the interpretation and weighting of other, conservation-related data.

		The gracile (light) build and relatively small cheek teeth set this specimen apart from more typical examples of Homo erectus, whose jaws were more heavily built and whose cheek teeth were quite large, relative to modern humans.
		In 1975, paleoanthropologists Colin Groves and Vratislav Mazák proposed a separate species for the early humans inhabiting Africa during this time period.
		The name Homo ergaster was proposed for this species; the word "ergaster" is Greek for "workman," which was a reference to stone tools found in the same geologic level.

		Additional papers are from Peter Lisowski who provides a historical and contemporary overview of health care in China, Lincoln Schmitt who discusses the interpretation of DNA variation in the legal setting, and Charles Oxnard and Alanah Buck who present their work on techniques of assessing osteoporosis from non-invasive Fourier analyses of bone structure.

		I have prepared Colin's comments in what I hope you will find is a more appropriate form (without typos).
		I wish in my prior post that I had called Colin a "leading systematist" rather than a "leading primatologist." Surely, as his comments demonstrate, he has a broad range of knowledge and expertise of phylogenetics, not limited to one Order.
		Eisenberg certainly exemplifies the spirit of Colin's last sentence--a student of primates and of all mammals.

		However, anthropologist, Dr. Colin Groves, now suggests that the human-dog relationship could be almost as old as modern man, himself.
		Basing his hypothesis on a recent DNA research project, Dr. Groves uses the results to support his statement that "Humans domesticated dogs and dogs domesticated humans."
		Led by biologist, Robert K. Wayne of UCLA, a team of international geneticists studied mutations in the DNA of 162 wolves, 140 purebred dogs of 67 breeds, 5 coyotes and 8 Simian jackals.

		I realize that a book reviewer, as knowledgeable as he may be, does not have the privilege of living out the experiences of the author of the book under scrutiny.
		First, let me say it was an honor to be commended by Dr. Groves for “my descriptions and basic assessments of the fossils” being “almost uniformly excellent.” I also thank him for his appreciation of my radiographic reconstruction of the subadult skull from Le Moustier.
		Finally I wish to thank Dr. Groves for his compliments about my competence as a forensic anthropologist and that I could make an important contribution to the scientific literature.

		In this text, Colin Groves proposes a complete taxonomy of living primates, reviewing the history and practice of their classification and providing a synthesis of molecular and phylogenetic research.
		At the heart of the work are species-by-species accounts in which Groves reviews the history of each group and offers many taxonomic arrangements.
		Recognizing that any taxonomic scheme is hypothetical and destined to be influenced by new information and interpretations, Groves offers these classifications as a step toward further debate.

	DNA shows early split from Neanderthals \| The World \| The Australian
		In fact, two groups of international scientists suggest that while they share a common ancestor who lived about 700,000 years ago, Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens were on separate evolutionary paths at least 370,000 years ago.
		Although his ANU colleague, Alan Thorne, was sceptical, Professor Groves said the genetic data was convincing evidence that we are not descended from Neanderthals.
		Evolutionary geneticist Savante Paabo with the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany reported in Nature that his US and European group analysed over one million base pairs - aligned bits of genetic material that form a “rung” on the DNA ladder - from a 38,000 year-old Neanderthal fossil from Vindija, Croatia.
