Document Summary
Likely that tarsiers had evolved to nearly their modern morphology in the eocene. Later than strepsirhines if adapoids or omomyoids were ancestral to monkeys, apes, and humans, some place early anthropoids in middle to late eocene. Oligocene: biomolecular data, phylogenetic relationship of organisms is that the closer organisms are biochemically and genetically, the more closely they are related. Chapter 10: miocene hominoid evolution: hominoid: lesser apes, great apes, and humans, undescribed hominins probably branched off of the hominoid line just before the end of the. The molecular clock: dates of the separation of the taxa have been estimated as well. Old world monkeys: rare relative to primitive hominoids, all of the pliopithecoids became extinct in pliocene apparently with no descendants. Hominoids: apes of the early miocene were very primitive, and except for their teeth, they did not greatly resemble later apes, primitive apes gave way to a radiation of apes of a more modern aspect in the middle.
