Propliopithecus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Propliopithecus
''Propliopithecus'' is an extinct genus of primate. The 40 cm (1 ft 4 in) long creature resembled today's gibbons. Its eyes faced forwards, giving it stereoscopical vision. ''Propliopithecus'' was most likely an omnivore. It is possible that ''Propliopithecus'' is the same creature as ''Aegyptopithecus''. If that would be the case the name ''Propliopithecus'' would take precedence over ''Aegyptopithecus'' according to ICZN rules, because it was coined earlier. ==Human-like dental features== ''Propliopithecus'' had small canine teeth, lacked spaces to fit the canine teeth of the other jaw into, and had molars very similar to those of ''Australopithecus''. These features set ''Propliopithecus'' apart from ''Aegyptopithecus'', which had big canine teeth along with other more normal simian dental features.〔Yves Coppens: Ape, Africa and Man〕〔Bjorn Kurten: The age of mammals〕
