The objectives of this study are to establish the mechanism of labor in two nonhuman primate species; to document the presence or absence of specific obstetric adaptations; to define the obstetrically significant measures of the maternal pelvis and the fetal cranium; and, to apply this knowledge to test hypotheses concerning the role of obstetric pressure in hominoid evolution.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The objectives of this study are to establish the mechanism of labor in two nonhuman primate species; to document the presence or absence of specific obstetric adaptations; to define the obstetrically significant measures of the maternal pelvis and the fetal cranium; and, to apply this knowledge to test hypotheses concerning the role of obstetric pressure in hominoid evolution.
520 $a The primary data consist of radiographs taken of spontaneously laboring Saimiri sciureus and Papio anubis, and measurements of maternal pelves and fetal crania.
520 $a In both Saimiri and Papio, the fetus normally presents in nuchal extension. Contra popular assumption, fetal rotation occurs. The extended head engages in variable positions, but rotates to mentum anterior. The obstetrically significant measures of the fetal cranium are the biparietal and the submentobregmatic. The presenting diameters are circular, not ovoid. The pelvic inlet plane passes through the superiorposterior border of the pubic symphysis to the second sacral vertebrae. The obstetric conjugate, as defined in humans, is significantly larger than the true sagittal measure. Pelvic ligamentary relaxation during labor increases the effective area of the pelvic inlet by $\ geq $1 00% in Saimiri and $\ geq $3 0% in Papio vs. a non-significant increase in humans. Unlike H. sapiens, fetal cranial molding is not significant in either species.
520 $a Studies of sexual dimorphism and the obstetric consequences of fossil hominid morphology must be based upon obstetrically significant measures. In no known primate does the occipitofrontal diameter of the fetal crania cross the pelvic inlet; these measurements should not be compared. Ligamentary relaxation observed during labor in Saimiri and Papio provides insight into the pattern and degree of sexual dimorphism among primate species. Speculation that humans have reached a "cephalopelvic terminus" must be questioned. Possibly, bipedalism places limits on pelvic relaxation. The model of birth assumed in fossil obstetric studies incorrectly predicts the mechanism of labor in Saimiri, Papio and modern women. Rotation is neither uniquely human nor a consequence of bipedalism or encephalization. The "face-down" birth in humans vs. the "face-up" delivery in monkeys results from a difference in nuchal attitude, not fetal rotation. A model of labor mechanics, based on the solid geometry of the pelvis and fetal head, is presented.
