Lemuriform Origins as Viewed from the Fossil Record
@article{Godinot2006LemuriformOA, title={Lemuriform Origins as Viewed from the Fossil Record}, author={M. Godinot}, journal={Folia Primatologica}, year={2006}, volume={77}, pages={446 - 464} }
Fossils relevant to lemuriform origins are reviewed. Omanodon seems very close to the other early tooth-combed lemuriforms Karanisia,Wadilemur and Saharagalago, whereas Bugtilemur is rejected from the Lemuriformes. The Djebelemurinae, including Djebelemur and ‘Anchomomys’ milleri, are considered as stem lemuriforms preceding tooth comb differentiation; they are shown to be very distinct from European adapiforms. With tooth-combed lemuriforms present in Africa around 40 million years ago, and… Expand
