Recent fossil discoveries, phylogenetic analyses, revised reconstructions of continental drift,
and accumulating molecular evidence have all yielded new information relating to …

Diurnal light-dark cycle resets the master clock, while timed food intake is another potent
synchronizer of peripheral clocks in mammals. As the largest metabolic organ, the liver …

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 …

Adaptive shifts associated with human origins are brought to light as we examine the human
fossil record and study our own genome and that of our closest ape relatives. However, the …

Anthropoid primates other than humans show a conspicuously disjunct geographic
distribution today, inhabiting mostly tropical and subtropical parts of Asia, Africa, and Central …

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

Living Anthropoidea—the group that includes monkeys, apes, and humans—has long been
recognized as a monophyletic group among primates diagnosed by a suite of features of the …

Abstract The Late Middle Eocene Pondaung Formation, central Myanmar hosts the richest
deposit of terrestrial mammals in SE Asia. The Pondaung Formation contains anthropoid …

Asian tarsiid and sivaladapid primates maintained relictual distributions in southern Asia
long after the extirpation of their close Holarctic relatives near the Eocene–Oligocene …

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 …
