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

Abstract In 1871, Darwin famously opined,“In each great region of the world the living
mammals are closely related to the extinct species of the same region. It is therefore …

Extant apes (Primates: Hominoidea) are the relics of a group that was much more diverse in
the past. They originated in Africa around the Oligocene/Miocene boundary, but by the …

Despite intensive study, many aspects of the evolutionary history of great apes and humans
(Hominidae) are not well understood. In particular, the phylogenetic relationships of many …

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 …

Fossil evidence indicates that numerous catarrhine clades of African origin expanded or
shifted their ranges into Eurasia, among them macaques Macaca Lacépède, 1799 …

Abstract Currently restricted to Southeast Asia and Africa, extant hominoids are the remnants
of a group that was much more diverse during the Miocene. Apes initially diversified in Africa …

For much of their history, fossil apes retained many monkey-like features in posture and
body structure. They also occupied a range of habitats, of which tropical forest was only a …

The environment of the hominoid Dryopithecus brancoi at Rudabánya (Late Miocene of
Hungary) is reconstructed here using the dietary traits of fossil ruminants and equids. Two …

Bones, Stones and Molecules provides some of the best evidence for resolving the debate
between the two hypotheses of human origins. The debate between the'Out of Africa'model …
