Pliopithecus Gervais, 1849
Genus of
primitive
hominoid
from the middle and late Miocene of Europe and Asia belonging to the
family
Pliopithecidae
; up to five
species
recognized. Estimated
body mass
from 7 to 15
kg.
Dental formula
: 2.1.2.3; sexually dimorphic
canines
; this
genus
appears to include both frugivorous and folivorous
species
. Contains a mixture of
primitive
and
derived
catarrhine traits. This
genus
resembles modern
gibbons
cranially and, consequently, was considered to be the
gibbon
ancestor
; however, reevaluation, particularly of many
features
that would require
parallel evolution
with other
apes
, has led researchers to consider questioning the
phylogenetic relationship
of Pliopithecus to any living
hominoid
.
