  • Morphometric Study on the Mandible of Colobine Fossil ( Mesopithecus pentelicus ) Found in East Asia, a Comparison With Extant Taxa

    Open Access•Hao Pan, Xueping Ji et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Primatology•2025

    A tooth‐bearing mandible fossil of a colobine monkey discovered at Shuitangba, Zhaotong, Yunnan, China, was morphometrically analyzed and compared with extant Asian colobines. Our previous qualitative and quantitative descriptions indicate that it can be safely attributed to Mesopithecus pentelicus , a Miocene fossil colobine widely found in Europe and South Asia. The present research aims to explore fossil association with extant colobines and f…

    Depictions of and references to apes (tailless hominoids) are very limited in early historical written accounts. The first known published representations of ape‐like primates appear in Medieval European books during the first century following the invention of printing. Considering the current knowledge of ape iconography, this article examines an unusual image of a couple of ape‐like creatures rendered in a European manuscript and explores the …

  • A Primate on a Fresco from the Mycenaean Acropolis of Tiryns

    Open Access•Dionisios Youlatos, B Urbani et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Archaeology•2023•References: 2

    The earliest Bronze Age Mediterranean primate representations on frescoes are found at the Aegean sites of Knossos (Crete) and Akrotiri (Thera). By contrast, monkeys have so far been missing from Mycenaean frescoes in mainland Greece. A fresco fragment of a cultic scene from Tiryns changes this; it depicts a bipedal partial lower body, with a hanging tail. This image, previously interpreted as a human wearing an animal hide, had already been sugg…

  • Terrestriality as reflected in the humerus of Mesopithecus delsoni (Cercopithecidae, Colobinae) from Hadjidimovo, Bulgaria

    Open Access•Ralitsa Bogdanova, Dionisios Youlatos et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Human Evolution•2023•References: 60

    The fossil colobine genus Mesopithecus is the oldest European monkey, ranging from the Late Miocene to the earliest Pleistocene. It is one of the most successful genera of Old World monkeys since the late Neogene. Its ecology, as an indicator of Late Miocene environments, is of particular interest. Several investigations have clarified the locomotor adaptations of the middle and late Turolian Balkan Mesopithecus pentelicus, but such studies are v…

    This paper investigates the interrelations of some organismal and habitat parameters in two platyrrhine primate communities in French Guiana and Ecuadorian Amazonia. Fifteen habitat and organismal parameters and body weight were retained after a preliminary analysis, on the basis of frequent use and constraints reflected in anatomical specializations. The 16 parameters for 13 platyrrhine species were used for a series of principal components anal…
