Briefly explain the significance of one of the following fossil primates:Aegyptopithecus, Proconsul, and the
Dryopithecines. What will be an ideal response?
The Aegyptopithecus fossil revealed a cat-size, forest-dwelling arboreal monkey with few
apelike characteristics that lived 434 mya.
Proconsul lived about 20 mya and had a larger brain than a monkey, apelike teeth, and diet
(fruit) but monkeylike body. Proconsul was a transition arthropoid that had limbs and body
proportions of a monkey but lacked a tail like apes
Dryopithecus is an advanced chimp-size ape that may have been ancestral to modern hominoids. Dryopithecus lineage may have lived 15 mya and led to modern apes as well as
humans.
