Early anthropoid evolution in Afro-Arabia is poorly documented, with only a few isolated
teeth known from before∼ 35 million years ago. Here we describe craniodental remains of …

The middle Eocene primate family Eosimiidae, which is known from sites in central and
eastern China, and Myanmar, is central to efforts to reconstruct the origin and early evolution …

Recent paleontological collections at the middle Miocene locality of Maboko Island in
Kenya, dated at 15–16 million years, have yielded numerous new specimens belonging to …

Among the earliest fossil anthropoid primates known are Catopithecus browni, Serapia
eocaena, Arsinoea kallimos, and Proteopithecus sylviae, from the late Eocene quarry L‐41 …

The family Amphipithecidae is one of the two fossil primate taxa from Asia that appear to be
early members of the anthropoid clade. Ganlea megacanina, gen. et sp. nov., is a new …

This was not the case, however, for the diverse primate fauna from the middle Eocene
Shanghuang fissure-fillings of southern Jiangsu Province, China (Beard et al., 1994) …

Phylogenetic evidence suggests that platyrrhine (or New World) monkeys and caviomorph
rodents of the Western Hemisphere derive from source groups from the Eocene of Afro …

The continuity of phylogenetic descent requires that sister taxa originate in the same place
and at the same time. Resolving phylogenetic relationships can therefore aid in …

Analysis of the teeth, orbital, and gnathic regions of the skull, and fragmentary postcranial
bones provides evidence for reconstructing a behavioral profile of Amphipithecidae …

Paleogene temporal and paleogeographic constraints on mammalian faunal interchange
between Africa and Eurasia are reassessed in order to discuss the origin of Primates …
