Editor's Notes

  1. 10my of tectonic, climatic, floral/faunal change Temperatures drop Primates disappear from NA and Europe
  2. By late Eocene, earliest anthropoids are though to have diverged
  3. Fayum Beds – no intermediates Asia earlier and more primitive but anthropoids? Now more primitive specimens from NW Africa
  4. ~4oz size of pygmy marmoset, diurnal, insectivore/frugivore
  5. Orangs former range
