Hominoids diverged from cercopithecoids during the Oligocene in Afro-Arabia, initially
radiating in that continent and subsequently dispersing into Eurasia. From the Late Miocene …

Hominoids, or taxa identified as hominoids, are known from much of Africa, Asia, and
Europe since the Late Oligocene. The earliest such taxa, from Africa, resemble extant …

Dating fossil hominids and reconstructing their environments is critically important for
understanding human evolution. Here we date the potentially oldest hominin …

The split of our own clade from the Panini is undocumented in the fossil record. To fill this
gap we investigated the dentognathic morphology of Graecopithecus freybergi from Pyrgos …

We describe late Miocene tetrapod footprints (tracks) from the Trachilos locality in western
Crete (Greece), which show hominin-like characteristics. They occur in an emergent horizon …

The evolution of the present-day African savannah fauna has been substantially influenced
by the dispersal of Eurasian ancestors into Africa. The ancestors evolved endemically …

The southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau has a number of well-known Late Miocene
localities that have yielded fossil hominoids belonging to Lufengpithecus and …

The Listriodontinae were a common and widespread group of Suidae (pigs) that lived in an
area extending from Portugal to China and to southern Africa. Here, we describe the new …

Porcupines, members of the Hystricidae family, represent a unique group of herbivorous
mammals. This study details the identification of a newly discovered mandible fragment of …

A dentate mandible and proximal femur of Mesopithecus pentelicus Wagner, 1839 are
described from the Shuitangba lignite mine in Zhaotong Prefecture, northeastern Yunnan …
