Document Summary
Why or why not: what are proconsuloids, and why are they no longer considered to be true hominoids, compare gigantopithecus in asia with the modern gorilla in africa. How do their dietary niches differ: summary of main topics, beginning in the late cretaceous, the earliest primate ancestors were probably little more than arboreally adapted insectivores, much like the modern tree shrews. In the paleocene, no indisputable euprimates are yet apparent, despite these claims for. Eocene or early oligocene and have gone their separate evolutionary pathways ever since that time. Lufengpithecus is probably closely related to the orangutan. Chororapithecus and nakalipithecus might be the ancestors of the african apes: key discoveries of fossil primates, purgatorius. Lemur-like stem strepsirhines; one of the two main branches of euprimates; may or may not have had a tooth comb. Found in north american and europe during mainly the eocene: omomyoidea. Tarsier- or galago-like stem strepsirhines; one of the two main branches or euprimates.
