In phylogenetics , a basal clade is the earliest clade to branch in a larger clade it appears at the base of a cladogram . A basal group forms an Outgroup cladistics outgroup to the rest of the clade, such as in the following example phylogeny Basal group clade Non basal group Non basal group Non basal group Non basal group The word basal is preferred to the term primitive , which may carry false connotations of inferiority or a lack of complexity. The term basal can only be correctly applied to clades of organisms, not to individual traits possessed by the organisms although it can be misused in this manner in technical literature. While the term basal applies to clades, characters or traits are usually considered derived if they are absent in a basal group, but present in other groups. This assumption only holds true if the basal group is a good analogy for the last common ancestor of the group. As an example, the flowering plant family Amborellaceae is considered the most basal Lineage evolution lineage of extant angiosperm s. clade phylogeny Amborellales Clade Monocot s Magnoliid s Eudicot s In animal family Hominidae , the gorillas are an outgroup to chimpanzees, bonobos and humans.

Barry Bogin born May 20, 1950 is an American physical anthropologist trained at Temple University that researches Child development Physical growth physical growth in Maya peoples Guatemala Guatemalan Maya children, and is a theorist upon the human evolution evolutionary origins of human childhood . He is presently at Loughborough University in the UK, after professorships at the University of Michigan Dearborn , and Wayne State University . During 1974 1976, he was a visiting Professor at the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala . Human evolution Barry Bogin is notable for arguing that human evolution introduced two new pre reproductive stages, childhood and adolescence , into Human development biology Physical stages development . He argues that these stages are absent in the pattern of growth in nonhuman mammals , in particular, in other Homininae such as chimpanzees . This makes them biologically specific to humans . He further argues that the physical, behavioral, and emotional characteristics of children and adolescents that derive from these two stages play a key role in creating modern human adults. According to him, appreciating this aspect of human evolution has important implications for child development theory and practice in development psychology psychology , Educational psychology education , and child welfare. Guatemalan children Starting in 1974 Bogin began research on the physical development of Maya peoples Guatemala Guatemalan Maya children, and their families. Since 1992 he has researched Maya child growth and development after migration to the United States. The purpose of this research has been to document and model the social, economic, and political influences on differences in Child development Physical growth physical growth and health between Maya children living in Guatemala compared to those in the USA.

The development of P. robustus , namely in Human cranium cranial features, seemed to be aimed in the direction of a heavy chewing complex . Because of the definitive traits that are associated with this robust line of australopithecine , anthropologist Robert Broom erected the genus Paranthropus and placed this species into it. Paranthropus robustus considered for a time by the scientific community as Australopithecus robustus is generally dated to have lived between 2.0 and 1.2 million years ago. P. robustus had large sagittal crests, jaws, jaw muscles, and post canine teeth that were adapted to serve in the dry environment that they lived in. After Raymond Dart s discovery of Australopithecus africanus , Broom had been in favour of Dart s claims about Australopithecus africanus being an ancestor of Homo sapiens . Broom was a Scotland Scottish doctor then working in South Africa who began making his own excavation in Southern Africa to find more specimens, which Dart had found earlier. In 1938, at 70 years old, Broom, excavating at Kromdraai, South Africa discovered pieces of a skull and teeth which resembled Dart s Australopithecus africanus find, but the skull had some robust characteristics. The fossils included parts of a skull and teeth all dated to 2 million years old. Fossil sites found on Paranthropus robustus are found only in South Africa in Kromdraai , Swartkrans , Drimolen, Gondolin Cave Gondolin and Coopers Cave South A ... more details
