The Evolution of the Human Placenta
According to Hill, the four stages of primate placentation are lemuroid, tarsioid,

primate ...

Dictionary of Concepts in Physical Anthropology
Frederick Wood Jones (e.g., 1929) took a more extreme view, suggesting that
hominids originated from a primitive tarsioid. Straus (1949) has traced Jones'
beliefs to the embryologist A. A. Willem Hubrecht and the paleontologist Edward
D.
