I’ve never seen that before. Thanks for posting it.

Danged ancient bones – why aren’t there more of them just everywhere? Except for saying that it’s different enough from Old World Monkeys and the Apes to deserve its own branch, I doubt anything more can be said based on the fragments of this one specimen. For all we know it could be yet another evolutionary dead end with nothing to do with modern apes. Still, it’s just awesome to discover your own ancient monkey bones which are the first known of its type.
