And not to deflect it further, but as long as we are now speaking of
automation of landmarking and its implications for transformational
homology hypotheses, people may be interested in some of the perspectives
and results of this paper on "fully automated" landmarks for diverse shape
samples
<https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269934848_A_New_Fully_Automated_Approach_for_Aligning_and_Comparing_Shapes>
(e.g., claw to nail or gorilla to mouse lemur).

... here is a recent update using a gaussian process for spreading landmarks
<https://arxiv.org/pdf/1807.11887.pdf> that emulates human landmarkers in
many cases (see Fig. 1).

...an example of using geometric similarity
<http://www.pnas.org/content/108/45/18221> to test homology hypotheses (see
Fig. 3)
