Abstract	The living apes share a number of important morphological similarities of torso and limbs; torsos are broad and shallow, lumbar regions short, and forelimbs adapted to mobility. For more than a century it was assumed that most of these similarities are homologous, reflecting descent from a common ancestor with these features. As the ape fossil record slowly expands, the story becomes more complicated, particularly in the case of the south Asian Miocene ape Sivapithecus. Sivapithecus has facial features resembling specifically the living orangutan, but no postcranial features resembling orangutans. This newly described hipbone differs from that of all living apes. Either postcranial similarities of apes are not fully homologous or the facial similarities of Sivapithecus and orangutans cannot be homologous.
