[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] The biogeographic origins of major primate clades SERGI LOPEZ-TORRES & MARY SILCOX 2016 AAPA ... A likelihood analysis (supertree with 488 primate taxa incl.134 fossils) was performed to test hypotheses of ancestral areas. The results show significant differences from previous analyses that did not include fossils: - Both Primates s.l. (+Plesiadapiformes) & Euprimates are inferred to have originated in N.America, supported by the presence on that continent of the oldest groups of plesiadapiforms, omomyoids & adapoids. - Strepsirrhini s.l. (+ adapoids) appears to be Asian in origin, vs previous analyses that have considered them Malagasy, Eurasian, and/or African, supported by the presence in Asia of primitive adapoids. - Crown-strepsirrhines are inferred to have originated in Africa. - The place of origins of Anthropoidea remains uncertain, but none of the most likely resolutions include Africa. - Pongines probably originated in E-Asia, - the African ape-human clade most likely originated in Europe or in W-Asia (i.e. Anatolia), not in Africa as some have previously inferred. ----- comments: MV "It's sometimes dangerous to include fossils in extant taxa: mosaic, reverse, convergent, parallel etc.evolutions! When fossil & DNA data are seemingly in conflict, the DNA data (if enough available) are correct. Early hominoids (coastal forest dwellers IMO) after Africa-Arabia hit Eurasia ?18 Ma: - first hylabatids left Africa, - then hominids-pongids ("great apes"): pongids E-Tethys = S.Asia, hominids W-Tethys = Medit.coastal forests (Anatolia then = archipelago)."
