- Here we report the discovery of a nearly complete and partly articulated skeleton of a primitive haplorhine primate from the early Eocene of China, about 55 million years ago, the oldest fossil primate of this quality ever recovered.

Phylogenetic analysis of Recent and fossil taxa supports the hypotheses that a haplorhine-strepsirrhine dichotomy existed at least at the time of the earliest record of fossil primates (earliest Eocene) and that eosimiids (middle Eocene, China) are primitive anthropoids.

Tertiary primate is strepsirhine or haplorhine. The question of lorisiform origins can- not be successfully addressed until ‘strepsirhinism’ (in the strict sense advocated here)
Jan 1, 2007 · The purpose of this chapter is to review the current fossil record of primates from the Paleocene, Eocene, and Oligocene with a special emphasis on its relationship to key phylogenetic issues in paleoanthropology. The phylogenetic value of the fossil record can hardly be overstated.
