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]
Biretia is an extinct genus of Old World monkey belonging to the extinct family Parapithecidae.Fossils are found from Late Eocene strata in Egypt.. The first discovery of Biretia was a single tooth dated to approximately 37 mya, which was found in 1988 at the Bir el Ater site in Algeria.
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 ...
For comparison, modern human men and women in the year 1900 averaged 163 cm (5 ft 4 in) and 152.7 cm (5.01 ft), respectively. [31] It is generally assumed that pre-H. ergaster hominins, including H. habilis, exhibited notable sexual dimorphism with males markedly bigger than females. However, relative female body mass is unknown in this species.
Apidium fossils were originally thought to be between 35.4 and 33.3 million years old, based on initial analysis of the Jebel Qatrani Formation in which they were found. . However, analysis by Erik Seiffert in 2006 concluded that the age of the Jebel Qatrani Formation should be rev
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.
After 1.5 million years ago (extinction of Paranthropus), all fossils shown are human (genus Homo). After 11,500 years ago (11.5 ka, beginning of the Holocene), all fossils shown are Homo sapiens (anatomically modern humans), illustrating recent divergence in the formation of modern human sub-populations.
Luzia Woman (Portuguese pronunciation:) is the name for an Upper Paleolithic period skeleton of a Paleo-Indian woman who was found in a cave in Brazil.The 11,500-year-old skeleton was found in a cave in the Lapa Vermelha archeological site in Pedro Leopoldo, in the Greater Belo Horizonte region of Brazil, in 1974 by archaeologist Annette Laming-Emperaire.
