Its members are considered to be basal anthropoids and the genus is closely related to Apidium. There are two known species. They lived about 40 to 33 million years ago. [1] Parapithecus had an unusual dentition, which contained no adult lower incisors. [2] The upper dentition likely had four incisors. [3]
Location of the Zlatý kůň fossil, with an age of at least ~43,000 years, which has yielded genome-wide data. The Zlatý kůň woman is the fossil of an ancient woman, an Early European modern human, dated to around 43,000 years ago. She was discovered in the Koněprusy Caves in the Czech Republic in 1950.
The most commonly found fossil species of parapithecid is Apidium phiomense, found like many of the species in the Jebel Qatrani Formation in Egypt. It appears to have been arboreal , diurnal and frugivorous and lived in social groups, and its postcranial skeleton is similar to that of extant species of pronograde leapers, indicating its likely ...
[2] [5] The classification H. habilis began to receive wider acceptance as more fossil elements and species were unearthed. [2] In 1983, Tobias proposed that A. africanus was a direct ancestor of Paranthropus and Homo (the two were sister taxa ), and that A. africanus evolved into H. habilis which evolved into H. erectus which evolved into ...

Victoriapithecus is the smallest of the known terrestrial anthropoids with a body mass of between 3 and 5 kg (6.6 and 11.0 lb). [1] Victoriapithecus had an upper and lower dental formula of 2:1:2:3. Unlike modern cercopithecids, which have bilophodont molars, Victoriapithecus had a more primitive molar structure and lacked the transverse distal ...
Darwinius is a genus within the infraorder Adapiformes, a group of basal strepsirrhine primates from the middle Eocene epoch.Its only known species, Darwinius masillae, lived approximately 47 million years ago (Lutetian stage) based on dating of the fossil site.
