Reconstructing the origin and early evolutionary history of anthropoid primates (monkeys,
apes, and humans) is a current focus of paleoprimatology. Although earlier hypotheses …

The phylogenetic and geographic origins of the primate suborder Anthropoidea have long
been major focal points in the study of primate evolution. Field work in Africa and Asia over …

The history of primate paleontology in Asia is long and complex, beginning with the first
discoveries of fossil primates on the Indian subcontinent in the early 1830s. The first Eocene …

Primates have been known from Eocene deposits in southern Asia since 1927 (Pilgrim,

Undisputed anthropoids appear in the fossil record of Africa and Asia by the middle Eocene,
about 45 Ma. Here, we report the discovery of an early Eocene eosimiid anthropoid primate …

The suborder Anthropoidea, also called simians or simiiforms, contains New and Old World
monkeys, apes, and humans. The recent discovery of early primate remains has led to the …

Recent discoveries of older and phylogenetically more primitive basal anthropoids in China
and Myanmar, the eosimiiforms, support the hypothesis that Asia was the place of origins of …

Dental remains of a late Eocene anthropoid primate from Thailand, Siamopithecus
