Classification and Human Evolution
It is, however, probable that in a general sense the ancestry occurred somewhere
in known or unknown members of what is here called the dryopithecine complex.

Primate Evolution and Human Origins
The three dryopithecine specimens were basically phenetically intermediate
between monkeys and small apes, but much closer to monkeys than to Pan
gorilla or Pongo and nearer to Hylobaies than to Pan troglodytes. The Moboko
and ...
Later dryopithecines already show pongid-type specialization. Proconsul
appears to represent the immediate evolutionary basis fo the main dryopithecine
group, but it is separate from it. Thus Proconsul could represent a phylogenetic
stage ...

MORPHOLOGY OF THE PRIMATES AND HUMAN EVOLUTION
Most of the Dryopithecine materials came from Indian subcontinent during the
period 1910 and 1939. The effort of G. Pilgrim and G. Liwis led to the uncovering
of most of the material from the Miocene deposit of Chingi and Nagre zones of ...

Paleoanthropology: Morphology and Paleoecology
In corroboration of this assumption, the dryopithecine apes, which almost
certainly gave rise to the Hominidae, apparently also lived in environmental
mosaics. The advantages of living in a patchy environment are obvious. If an
animal is ...

From fish to philosopher
As the climate became less hospitable and the forests dwindled in size in the late
Pliocene, the dryopithecine apes came to an end in Eurasia while their covsins
continued to flourish in the African forests, which at that time extended northward

Of all the participants in the dryopithecine radiation, only one group survived until
the present day : the brachiators. The gibbon split from the main brachiating line
10 million years ago, and developed brachiation to perfection. Long arms, a ...

... the early hominids. The tooth is considerably smaller than that of later aus-
tralopithecine fossils. It is most similar to chimpanzee molars in size. The surface

Nancy Makepeace Tanner,
1981
Two subsets of morphological features were used by Moya-Sola and Kohler to
argue for membership of the CLl-18000 dryopithecine material in a Pongo clade:
the first comprised limb dimensions and proportions; while the second included a
