Sivapithecus

Sivapithecus

Sivapithecus is an extinct genus of primates from the family of the human monkeys. The genus was named after the Hindu god Shiva, since the first finds were made in India. The younger finds are considered to be around eight, the older than around 13 million years old; They are thus dated into the Upper and Middle Miocene. Sivapithecus may have had the size of a chimpanzee, but in the construction of the face similarities with an orangutan. From the thickness of the enamel of the teeth one deduces that the individuals of this genus have presumably fed mainly fruit. The physique beneath the head suggests a tree-dweller, who has moved mainly on the branches of the trees, but could also hange. Because of the only fragmentary fossils, Sivapithecus has only rough estimates for its brain volume, according to which it corresponds to Dryopithecus and similar large chimpanzees, which is presumably significantly less than 400 cm³. There is uncertainty about the number of species. Sivapithecus ist eine ausgestorbene Gattung der Primaten aus der Familie der Menschenaffen. Benannt wurde die Gattung nach dem Hindu-Gott Shiva, da die ersten Funde in Indien gemacht wurden. Die jüngeren Funde gelten als rund acht, die älteren als rund 13 Millionen Jahre alt; sie werden also in das Obere und Mittlere Miozän datiert. Sivapithecus dürfte die Größe eines Schimpansen, aber im Bau des Gesichtes Ähnlichkeiten mit einem Orang-Utan gehabt haben. Aus der Dicke des Schmelzes der Zähne leitet man ab, dass sich die Individuen dieser Gattung vermutlich vorwiegend von Früchten ernährt haben. Der Körperbau unterhalb des Kopfes lässt auf einen Baumbewohner schließen, der sich vorwiegend auf den Ästen der Bäume fortbewegt hat, aber auch hangeln konnte. Aufgrund der nur bruchstückhaft überlieferten Fossilien gibt es für Sivapithecus allenfalls grobe Schätzwerte für dessen Hirnvolumen, denen zufolge es Dryopithecus und ähnlich großen Schimpansen entspreche, also vermutlich deutlich weniger als 400 cm³ betragen hat. Über die Anzahl der Arten herrscht Unklarheit.
