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…

Djebelemur, a Tiny Pre-Tooth-Combed Primate from the Eocene of Tunisia: A Glimpse into the Origin of Crown Strepsirhines
TLDR
These new fossil data suggest that the differentiation of the tooth-comb must postdate the djebelemurid divergence, a view which constrains the timing of crown strepsirhine origins to the Middle Eocene, and then precludes the existence of unrecorded lineage extinctions of tooth-combed primates during the earliest Tertiary.
Fossil lemurs from Egypt and Kenya suggest an African origin for Madagascar’s aye-aye
TLDR
The results challenge the long-held view that all lemurs are descended from a single ancient colonization of Madagascar, and present an intriguing alternative scenario in which two lemur lineages dispersed from Africa to Madagascar independently, possibly during the later Cenozoic.
Anthropoid versus strepsirhine status of the African Eocene primates Algeripithecus and Azibius: craniodental evidence
TLDR
New data support the idea that Algeripithecus and its sister genus Azibius are the earliest offshoots of an Afro–Arabian strepsirhine clade that embraces extant toothcombed primates and their fossil relatives and strongly challenge the role of Africa as the ancestral homeland for anthropoids.
Chapter 12 – Fossil Prosimians
A fossil primate of uncertain affinities from the earliest late Eocene of Egypt
TLDR
It is suggested that Nosmips likely represents a highly specialized member of a previously undocumented, and presumably quite ancient, endemic African primate lineage, the subordinal affinities of which have been obscured by its striking dental autapomorphies.
Primate tarsal bones from Egerkingen, Switzerland, attributable to the middle Eocene adapiform Caenopithecus lemuroides
TLDR
The first postcranial remains that can be attributed to C. lemuroides are described and analyzed, and parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses strongly support the placement of Afradapis and Caenopithecus as sister taxa to the exclusion of all other known adapiforms, thus implying that dispersal between Europe and Africa occurred during the middle Eocene.
Fossil Record of the Primates from the Paleocene to the Oligocene
TLDR
Many aspects of primate evolution are documented over almost 20 million years, including locomotion, diet, vision and other sensory capacities, brain evolution, and one aspect of social structure via sexual dimorphism and the best records allow researchers to approach specific lineages, evolutionary modes, and analysis of faunistic changes.

TLDR
Newly discovered fossils indicate that the persistence and later diversification of Anthropoidea was not an inevitable result of the clade's competitive isolation or adaptive superiority, as has often been assumed, but rather was as much due to the combined influences of serendipitous geographic conditions, global cooling, and competition with a group of distantly related extinct strepsirrhines with anthropoid‐like adaptations known as adapiforms.
Talar morphology of azibiids, strepsirhine-related primates from the Eocene of Algeria: phylogenetic affinities and locomotor adaptation.
Astragalar morphology of Afradapis, a large adapiform primate from the earliest late Eocene of Egypt.
TLDR
An astragalus from BQ-2 is described, attributable to Afradapis on the basis of size and relative abundance, and comparisons to a sample of euarchontan a stragali show the new fossil to be most similar to those of adapines and lorisids.

Additional remains of Wadilemur elegans, a primitive stem galagid from the late Eocene of Egypt.
TLDR
Wadilemur's known dental and postcranial morphology provides additional support for the hypothesis that galagids and lorisids had diverged by the close of the middle Eocene, and, by bolstering the approximately 37 million-year-old calibration point for crown lorisiform origins provided by Saharagalago, indirect support for an ancient origin of crown Strepsirrhini and crown Primates.
Evolutionary History of Lorisiform Primates
TLDR
By specializing on two different foraging modes early in their radiation, lorisines and galagines subsequently underwent a chain of integrated evolutionary changes eventually having an impact on many components of locomotor behavior, anatomy, physiology, reproduction, life history, and social behavior.

Early North African Primates and Their Significance for the Origin of Simiiformes (= Anthropoidea)
TLDR
I follow the authors who, since this time, use Simiiformes Hoffstetter, 1974 instead of Anthropoidea Mivart, 1864 (vernacular: simiiform or simian), because of the inconveniences of the vernacular term “anthropoid,” ambiguous in many languages.
Single origin of Malagasy Carnivora from an African ancestor
TLDR
A multi-gene phylogenetic analysis is used to show that Malagasy carnivorans are monophyletic and thus the product of a single colonization of Madagascar by an African ancestor, and that a single event cannot explain the presence of both groups in Madagascar.
A Fossil Lemur from the Oligocene of Pakistan
TLDR
The discovery of a strepsirrhine fossil with strong cheirogaleid lemur affinities from early Oligocene deposits of the Bugti Hills (Balochistan, Pakistan) represents the earliest record of Lemuriformes, which hence appear to have already diversified outside of Madagascar at least 30 million years ago.

Asynchronous colonization of Madagascar by the four endemic clades of primates, tenrecs, carnivores, and rodents as inferred from nuclear genes.
TLDR
A simultaneous reconstruction of phylogeny and age of the four radiations based on a 3.5-kb data set from three nuclear genes supports each as a monophyletic clade, sister to African taxa, and thereby identifies four events of colonization out of Africa.
