Background Molecular clock estimates of crown strepsirhine origins generally advocate an
ancient antiquity for Malagasy lemuriforms and Afro-Asian lorisiforms, near the onset of the …

Recent fossil discoveries have demonstrated that Africa and Asia were epicentres for the
origin and/or early diversification of the major living primate lineages, including both …

Sivaladapidae is a poorly known Asian strepsirrhine family originally discovered in Miocene

locality of Chambi (Tunisia), a primate-bearing locality dating from the late early to the early …

In this paper, we describe the newly discovered lower jaw of a primate from the late Eocene
Krabi coal mine (Bang Mark pit) of Peninsular Thailand. We performed microtomographic …

This brief review summarizes new paleontological and molecular data that together support
a late middle Eocene Afro‐Arabian origin for crown Lorisiformes. Phylogenetic analysis …

Sanitheres are enigmatic small suoids with bunoselenodont cheek teeth and a tendency for
