A new genus and species of anthropoid primate, Bahinia pondaungensis gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Yashe Kyitchaung locality in Late Middle Eocene Pondaung Formation (Myanmar). It related to Eosimias , but it represented by more complete remains, including upper dentition with associated lower jaw fragment. interpreted as a representative family Eosimiidae, which corresponds sister group Amphipithecidae all other anthropoids. Eosimiidae are now recorded three distinct localities...
In the absence of a comprehensive fossil record, origin and early evolution Malagasy lemurs have been subject to much uncertainty. We report here discovery strepsirrhine with strong cheirogaleid lemur affinities, Bugtilemur mathesoni gen. et sp. nov., from Oligocene deposits Bugti Hills (Balochistan, Pakistan). represents earliest record Lemuriformes, which hence appear already diversified outside Madagascar at least 30 million years ago. This clearly enhances critical role Indian...
The earliest known hippopotamids, attributed to the subfamily Kenyapotaminae, are essentially from dental remains of two species. first was found in middle Miocene Kenya, second at beginning upper eastern and northern Africa. exact affinities Kenyapotaminae critical for resolving long debated origin Hippopotamidae, as part wider question cetacean within artiodactyls. We performed detailed comparative description, character by character, kenyapotamines, using following putatively related...

In most analyses, both molecular and morphological phylogenies Cetartiodactyla support monophyly However, evolutionary history this superfamily remains poorly known primarily due to long‐lasting debates about taxonomic content suoid families subfamilies. Despite their crucial position in reconstruction...
According to molecular data, hippopotamuses and cetaceans form a clade excluding other extant cetartiodactyls. Despite wealth of spectacular specimens documenting cetacean evolution, this relationship remains poorly substantiated by the fossil record. Indeed, evolutionary path leading from hippo-cetacean ancestor Hippopotamidae is plagued missing data phylogenetic uncertainties. Only an origination within extinct anthracotheres compatible with results, substantial filling phyletic gaps...
Pondaungia cotteri is the largest primate known from Late Middle Eocene Pondaung Formation, Myanmar. Its taxonomic status has been subject of much debate because fragmentary nature its remains. Initially described as an anthropoid, some authors recently have associated it with adapid primates. These debates fueled not only by incompleteness fossils attributed to but also reticence many regard Asia important evolutionary theater for anthropoids. During November 1998 Myanmar-French Expedition,...
A new tragulid, Archaeotragulus krabiensis , gen. n. et sp. n., is described from the late Eocene Krabi Basin (south Thailand). It represents oldest occurrence of family which was previously unknown prior to Miocene. displays a mixture primitive and derived characters, together with M structure on trigonid, appears be main dental autapomorphy family. We also report at Lophiomerycid, Krabimeryx primitivus affinities Chinese representatives family, particularly Lophiomeryx . The familial...
Primate dental and postcranial remains from the Eocene Pondaung Formation (Myanmar) have been subject of considerable confusion since their initial discoveries, anthropoid status has widely debated. We report here a well preserved primate talus discovered in Segyauk locality near Mogaung that displays derived anatomical features typical haplorhines, notably anthropoids, lacks strepsirhine synapomorphies. Linear discriminant parsimony analyses indicate Myanmar is more similar structurally to...
In contrast to the Neogene fossil assemblages, Late Paleogene mammal localities are rare in Africa. The most famous ones situated Fayum depression Egypt, from which several rich fossi...
ABSTRACT Except for the few specimens previously reported from late middle Eocene of North Africa (Algeria) and more recently South Asia (Myanmar), fossil record anomaluroid rodents is relatively scarce Paleogene Period. In this paper, we describe new material, notably a skull, taxon Pondaungimys anomaluropsis Dawson et al., 2003, described latest Pondaung Formation in Central Myanmar (South Asia). shows dental pattern very similar to that Nementchamys, an rodent roughly coeval deposits...
Previous studies showed that in modern humans the basicranium is formed of two modules: midline cranial base and lateral which are integrated with face very different ways. The study relationship between these structures prime interest context hominids craniofacial evolutionary history. In this study, we aim to test if on one hand other qualitatively quantitatively chimpanzees: phylogenetically close but morphologically hominids. This work performed using three‐dimensional (3D) landmarks...
