New study shows how different stapes can be in species.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n University of the Witwatersrand –<\/strong> It has long been believed that the hearing bone called stapes, one of the smallest bones in ancestor of mammals, shows no differences between species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, Dr Leandro Gaetano and Professor Fernando Abdala from the University of the Witwatersrand’s Evolutionary Studies Institute (ESI) have completed the first detailed and comprehensive analysis on the ear bone of Triassic cynodonts, and have found some noticeable variations in the morphology of this bone – even among animals of the same species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
