	Ramapithecus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ramapithecus is an extinct primate erected from a two inch piece of a jawbone, with four teeth.
		The jawbone was found in the Siwalik Hills of northern India by G.E. Lewis in the 1930 's and is similar to the jawbones of baboons.
		When this was compared with the jawbone of Ramapithecus and they were found to fit, Elwyn Simons had the idea that they could be from the same creature.

	AllRefer.com - Ramapithecus (Human Evolution) - Encyclopedia
		Ramapithecus [rAm u p u th E ´k u s, –pith´ u –] Pronunciation Key, an extinct group of primates that lived from about 12 to 14 million years ago, for a time regarded as a possible ancestor of Australopithecus and, therefore, of modern humans.
		Although it was generally an apelike creature, Ramapithecus was considered a possible human ancestor on the basis of the reconstructed jaw and dental characteristics of fragmentary fossils.
		A complete jaw discovered in 1976 was clearly nonhominid, however, and Ramapithecus is now regarded by many as a member of Sivapithecus, a genus considered to be an ancestor of the orangutan.

		The world for Ramapithecus and the other early primates was a world of praxis, of plant and animal living in interaction with the physical environment.
		Ramapithecus was very much a part of the natural world in which it found itself.
		The ancestral inheritors of Ramapithecus found themselves in a changed environmental niche that necessitated a change in themselves if they were to survive.

	The Evolution Deceit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Ramapithecus is known to be the biggest and longest lasting fallacies of the theory of evolution.
		It was understood that in the case of the Piltdown man, a jaw bone and cranial fragment presented as important evidences to the evolution of man and allegedly were 500 years old, were in fact buried under the ground by the evolutionists on purpose.
		Ramapithecus was also one of the biggest fallacies of the theory of evolution.

	Evolution - The reconstruction of phylogeny
		Until the late 1960s, almost all paleoanthropologists thought that Ramapithecus was a hominid: that is, it was more closely related to Homo than to chimpanzees and gorillas.
		Homo and Ramapithecus were thought to share, as a derived condition, a thickened layer of tooth enamel, unlike the thinner layer in other apes.
		The paleontological conclusion was that of figure (a): the human lineage must have split from the great apes at least 12 million years ago, because Ramapithecus is nearer to us than to the great apes.

		The fossilized remains of such creatures like Ramapithecus who were only about 4 ft tall and as old as 8 to 15 million years, have been found in Turkey, Kenya, Butaul of Nepal and Sivalik hills of India and Pakistan.
		It was in Yunnan, where the fossilized remains of Ramapithecus (of some 7 million years B.P.) and ‘Australopithecus in Transition’ (to be evolved into early Homo-Erectus) of some 1.7 million years B.P. were found.
		But unlike their small sized cousins, the Ramapithecus, it seems that the Gigantopithecus could not evolve with speed.

		This finding is accepted by scientific community to be very important, because of the facts that (i) it represents the middle generation of Ramapithecus, (ii) it is third oldest in the world and oldest found in Asia and also (iii) its location falls in the centre of the straight line connecting Yunnan (China) and Turkey.
		Ramapithecus may be inferred as being able to walk in a transitional semi-erect gait.
		Ten million years ago, there were herds of Ramapithecus roaming in the great tropical forests and savannas in the area, where the city of Butwal stands now.

	Hominid Species
		Some apes occurring within that time period, such as Ramapithecus, used to be considered as hominids, and possible ancestors of humans.
		Later fossil finds indicated that Ramapithecus was more closely related to the orang-utan, and new biochemical evidence indicated that the last common ancestor of hominids and apes occurred between 5 and 10 million years ago, and probably in the lower end of that range (Lewin 1987).
		Ramapithecus therefore is no longer considered a hominid.

	THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE FOR THE ORIGIN OF MAN David N. Menton, Ph.D. St. Louis, Missouri 1
		RAMAPITHECUS This animal was long believed to be the first branch from that line of apes which evolved into man about 14 million years ago.
		Simon's confidence in the human or hominid ancestry of Ramapithecus is surprising in view of a study by Dr. Robert Eckhardt which appeared in an earlier issue of Scientific American (226: 94, 1972).
		This is significant because Ramapithecus is judged to be an early hominid primarily on the basis of its teeth.

	Evolution
		The species, Ramapithecus is added to Gould’s list as this is another often suggested species with a link to man. Although all evolutionists do not draw these in a straight line of ape to man, each has been used in some capacity to show mutation and evolution.
		However differently Ramapithecus may be seen in scientific cir c les, Australopithecus does not have the same wavering opinions, often being accepted as the missing link and ancestor to man. [26] [27] The two most often discussed of the Australopithecus species are Australopithecus africanus and Australopithecus robustus.
		As shown in the discussion of Ramapithecus, evolutionists have used the shape of the mandible to place this species in the chain of evolution leading up to man. Australopithecus is seen in the same light, with the same arguments.

	Evolution - The reconstruction of phylogeny (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The dental arcade of Ramapithecus had been wrongly reconstructed (originally by combining parts from different specimens).
		The specimens formerly classified as Ramapithecus are now usually included in the genus Sivapithecus (a fossilized skull of which is pictured opposite), thought to be a close relative of the ancestors of modern orang-utans.
		In this example molecular evidence helped to inspire a reanalysis of the fossil evidence for hominid origins - with the result that a figure of about five million years is now widely accepted for the time of origin of the hominid lineage.

		At the time of its discovery this specimen was the most complete mandible of "Ramapithecus" known.

		It is possible that Ramapithecus can already be considered to be a hominid on the basis of the study of the teeth and jaw, which are unfortunately the only fossils found.
		Ramapithecus had the same diffusion as Driopithecus and this seems to be a good reason for considering it to be the first link in a paleonthological chain eventually leading to Homo Sapiens.
		The contribution of neurophysiological thought to paleontology is essentially this, and confirms that the development of the liaison brain is central in the mystery of human paleontology.

		Ramapithecus was discovered in North India in 1934 by a geologist named G. Lewis.
		The evidence which put Ramapithecus in the spotlight as being the missing link, consisted of a few teeth and fragments of a jaw.
		Space only allows one: Dr. Robert Eckhardt, a paleoanthropologist at Penn. State University, compared the measurements from the teeth fossils of Ramapithecus to the range of variations made on a population of living chimpanzees at a research center, and on a sample of wild chimpanzees in Libera.

		However, there have been speculations that Ramapithecus is more humanlike and was the remote ancestor of modern humans (1).
		On the basis of this and the comparison of the rearward divergence of the tooth arcade in the fossil primates (Figure 2.15), he concluded that Ramapithecus is part of the family Hominidae that may have given rise to the later hominid Au stralopithecus.
		Therefore, this uncertainty, the scanty evidence for Ramapithecus (only jaws and teeth), and the absence of intermediate fossils during the 4-5 million years between the most recent find of Ramapithecus and the oldest Australopithecus fossil have made many skeptical of Simons's interpretation.
