Fossil evidence for an ancient divergence of lorises and galagos
TLDR
The first demonstrable crown strepsirrhines from the Afro-Arabian Palaeogene are described—a galagid and a possible lorisid from the late middle Eocene of Egypt, the latter of which provides the earliest fossil evidence for the distinctive strepsIRrhine toothcomb.

Basal Anthropoids from Egypt and the Antiquity of Africa's Higher Primate Radiation
TLDR
Biretia is unique among early anthropoids in exhibiting evidence for nocturnality, but derived dental features shared with younger parapithecids draw this genus, and possibly >45-million-year-old Algeripithecus, into a morphologically and behaviorally diverse parapithecoid clade of great antiquity.

Evolution of the Side-Necked Turtles: The Family Podocnemididae
TLDR
The family Podocnemididae is reconfirmed as monophyletic, using the unique possession of a cavum pterygoidei formed by the basisphenoid, pterygoid, prootic, and quadrate, and the resulting consensus of nine equally parsimonious cladograms is the basis for a new classification of the family.

Primate postcrania from the late middle Eocene of Myanmar
TLDR
The humerus and ulna indicate that Pondaungia was capable of a wide variety of forelimb movements, with great mobility at the shoulder joint, and Morphology of the distal calcaneus indicates that the hind feet were mobile at the transverse tarsal joint.

Oldest known Varanus (Squamata: Varanidae) from the Upper Eocene and Lower Oligocene of Egypt: support for an African origin of the genus
TLDR
The recovery and identification of lizard vertebrae from northern Africa indicate that the genus Varanus arose in Africa, before dispersing to Australia and Asia, and supports the hypothesis that a corridor existed allowing freshwater and terrestrial organisms to cross from Africa to Asia.

New Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from the Late Eocene and Early Oligocene, Fayum Depression, Egypt
TLDR
Four new genera and six new species of microchiropteran bats are described here from the late Eocene (37–34 Ma) of the Fayum Depression in northern Egypt, including the first and only African record of a fossil rhinopomatid and the earliest African records of megadermatids, emballonurids, and vespertilionids.
