''Apidium'' fossils are common in the Fayoum deposits of Egypt. Fossils of the earlier species, ''Apidium moustafai'', are rare; fossils of the later species ''Apidium phiomense'' are fairly common. ''Apidium'' and its fellow members of the Parapithecidae family are stem anthropoids that possess all the hallmarks of modern Anthropoidea.〔Fleagle J., Kay R.F., 1987. The phyletic position of the Parapithecidae. Journal of Human Evolution 16, 483-532.〕 Their ancestry is closely tied to the Eocene Asian group Eosimiidae.〔Kay R.F., Williams B.A., Ross C.F., Takai M., Shigehara N., 2004. Anthropoid origins: a phylogenetic analysis. In: Ross C.F., Kay R.F. (Eds) Anthropoid Origins: New Visions. Kluwer/Plenum, New York, pp. 91-135〕 ==Behaviour== The ''Apidium'' species were well adapted to life in what once were the tropical forests of North Africa. They lived in trees and apparently moved on top of tree limbs by a combination of quadrupedalism and leaping, much as do living squirrel monkeys of the genus ''Saimiri''.〔Kay R.F., Simons E.L., 1980. The ecology of Oligocene African Anthropoidea. International Journal of Primatology 1, 21-37.〕 These primates appear to have been frugivorous and diurnal, with keen eyesight.〔Bush E.C., Simons E.L., Allman J., 2004. High-resolution computed tomography study of the cranium of a fossil anthropoid primate, Parapithecus grangeri: New insights into the evolutionary history of primate sensory systems. Anatomical Record Part A 281A, 1083-1087.〕 Male ''Apidium'' were bigger than the females, which, by comparing them with living primates, suggests that they probably lived in groups, where a small number of males would have had control over several females. The males had large canine teeth.〔Fleagle J.G., Kay R.F., Simons E.L., 1980. Sexual dimorphism in early anthropoids.
