	Aegyptopithecus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aegyptopithecus, also called the Dawn Ape, is an early fossil catarrhine that predates the divergence between hominoids (apes) and Old World monkeys.
		Aegyptopithecus zeuxis was a species that had a dental formula of 2:1:2:3 on both the upper and lower jaws, with the lower molars increasing in size posteriorly.
		Aegyptopithecus zeuxis shares characteristics with haplorrhines such as a fused mandibular and frontal symphyses, postorbital closure, and superior and inferior transverse tori.

		Aegyptopithecus zeuxis had a dental formula of 2:1:2:3 on both the upper and lower jaws (Fleagle, 1988).
		Aegyptopithecus zeuxis had an average body mass of around 6.7 kilograms (Fleagle, 1988).

	Human evolution - A look at human origins through species profiles and hominid imagery
		Aegyptopithecus was a small, tree-dwelling, fruit-eating animal living about 33MYA.
		Weighing about 4kg and somewhat resembling a modern-day lemur except for a full set of 32 teeth, this animal has been termed the "Dawn Ape", an important link between earlier mammals and the apes of the Miocene Epoch.
		Aegyptopithecus was found in the Egyptian Faiyum Depression, a rich source of Oligocene fossils.

		Aegyptopithecus zeuxis was a small primate, around 6 kg, with essentially apelike teeth, including broad flat incisors, low molars with somewhat bulbous cusps, and sexually dimorphic canines.
		The postcranial skeleton of Aegyptopithecus was basically monkey-like, with short, non-suspensory forelimbs and a tail.
		Since Aegyptopithecus shows no derived similarities to either group, it may be very similar to the primitive catarrhine lineage that gave rise to both living groups, even if it represents an early hominoid or cercopithecoid.

	Aegyptopithecus Skull Bone Clones BH-025
		First discovered in the Egyptian Faiyum Depression (1906), Aegyptopithecus zeuxis is probably the best known of the propliopithecids (believed to be an ancestor of Old World monkeys and hominoids).
		Aegyptopithecus, sometimes called the "Dawn Ape", is an excellent example of a transitional form and an important link between earlier mammals and the apes of the Miocene Epoch.
		The few postcranial remains that have been discovered indicate that this propliopithecid was an arboreal quadruped that was capable of leaping and some suspensory behavior.

	Aegyptopithecus zeuxis Skull
		Aegyptopithecus zeuxis - Aegyptopithecus zeuxis was discovered in Egypt in the early 1900’s.
		Based on dental and physiological morphology, it is believed that Aegyptopithecus was an arboreal species that fed on fruits and other soft plant parts in the treetops.
		This early primate, sometimes called the “Dawn Ape”, exhibited both ape and monkey characteristics and is thought to be the earliest known ancestor to the old world apes.

		Face of the basal catarrhine primate, just after discovery by H.H. Covert, in the river channel sands of Fayum Quarry M, a site that is about 32 million years old.
		Subsequent discoveries of numerous limb bones, together with analysis of faces, skulls and jaws all demonstrate that Aegyptopithecus lies somewhere near the base of the family tree of Old World monkeys, apes and humans.
		Aegyptopithecus was a generalized arboreal quadruped, with different sized sexes, that traveled through the ancient Egyptian jungles is small multi-male, multi-female troops.

		One of the earliest known and best described catarrhine monkeys from this time is Aegyptopithecus.
		Other anthropoids found at Fayum, but thought to precede the split between platyrrhines and catarrhines are Parapithecus and Apidium.
		Examine the Aegyptopithecus, Parapithecus, Apidium, capuchin, howler and baboon skulls, along with the laminated picture in order to answer the following questions: Which of the fossils are more like new world monkeys, and why?

	Stephen Caesar's Articles
		A gulf of mystery separates Aegyptopithecus at 33 million years [ago] and Australopithecus at four million.
		Even Dr. Simons, who touted Aegyptopithecus as the common ancestor of apes and man, refers to the fossil proofs of the first ape as "these bare damaged evidences" (Weaver 563).
		Despite this overt lack of proof for one of the most vital, elemental steps on the alleged ladder of human evolution, supporters of Darwin’s theory continue to present it as incontrovertible truth to an unsuspecting public.

		The Earth's climate was cooling, but a swampy, tropical rainforest grew near what is now the Fayum in Egypt.
		A variety of primates lived there, including the cat-sized Aegyptopithecus.
		Skeletons suggest that this species lived in trees and ate fruits and leaves.

		Its eyes face almost completely forward, and its canines are fairly large compared to the rest of the teeth.
		The most important difference between the teeth of Aegyptopithecus and the squirrel monkey is that the squirrel monkey has one more premolar, which indicates that Aegyptopithecus lived after the lineage leading to squirrel monkeys (and indeed, all New World monkeys) had split from the Old World monkey/ape line.
		Its canines are slightly reduced compared to the rest of its teeth; this would be considered a derived feature.

		Be sure to include the following fossil groups: Teilhardina (an omomyid); Cantius (an adapid); Catopithecus; Aegyptopithecus; Apidium (a parapithecid) and indicate which (if any) modern taxa they may have given rise to.
