Paleontologists Discover Three New Fossil Primates

The paleontologists at the University of Texas at Austin discovered three new omominin primates that were inhabited between 4 and 46 million years ago (Eocene)

Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, and a graduate Amy Atwater, says: "Ekwiiyemakius walshi is the smallest of the three new species, weighing 113 to 125 grams.

"This species was named after the paleontologist Stephen Walsh of the San Diego Natural History Museum, who prepared a lot of specimens from the formation of monks and from the names of the native American Kumeyai. '- San Diego And the back of the source of the Sweetwater River "

"Gunnelltarsius randalli was named after the Holocene mammalian expert Gregg Gunnell and Kesler Randall, the fossil collection manager of the San Diego Natural History Museum.

"Brontomomys cerutti is large compared to most other thylakoids and has a mass of 719-796 grams, which is the size of a living lemur."

"Because of its size, the name comes from the retired San Diego Natural History Museum Richard Seruti, whose name is responsible for collecting Greek brontē (Thunder), and many Brontomomys specimens."

"By adding these primates we can deepen our understanding of the richness of the Eocene's primates," Atwater said.

"In previous studies in the Rocky Basin, it was shown that the amount of primates decreased during this period, but we believe the richness of primates will increase simultaneously in other areas."

Genetics that has solved the problem of human evolution is itself a revolution. The main case to support the effectiveness of genetic techniques is Ramapithecus. Paleontologists claim that this primate fossil originally discovered in India in the 1930s is extremely important as it appeared as a modern primate after division of ancient primate lines. On the other hand, it is a human primitive animal. Paleontologists think that there are only a few pieces of jawbone and teeth in Ramapitecs, but about 25 million years ago, it was very important to understand the early moments of human evolution.

Until the 1960s, much of the work of primate paleontology was focused on humans and their ancestors. Many studies on the Miocene and early primates were conducted by comparative anatomists and widely trained vertebrate paleontologists. Studies on fossil primates are mainly carried out on C. fauna. L. Gazin, J. It is carried out by paleontologists interested in ancient fauna, including primates like. W. Gidley, W. Granger, W. D. Matthew, M Schlosser, G. Work by G. Simpson, H. G. Stehlin or F. Ameghino. Or fossils are included in a wider range of works that have great interest in human and comparative anatomy, such as Wilfrid Le Gros Clark (1934, 1959).

In the late 1990s, American paleontologists Marc Salak and Halard L. Lescinsky discovered metazoan fossils, named it Spygori zappania and greeted Frank Zappa. That mission and the work of the oldest paleontologist scientist are the same. This belief lacks the basis for logic and reasons when challenging traditional beliefs and traditional beliefs. "In 1994, the lobbying started by psychiatrist John Sialy, the International Astronomical Union Asteroid Center named Zappa's honorable asteroid, 3834 Zappa Frank. Asteroids were discovered in 1980 by the Czechoslovakian astronomer Radislav Brozek, a nickname that Zappa is an eclectic, self-enlightening artist and composer ... before 1989, the Czech Many people were recognized as a symbol of Slovak democracy and freedom In 1995 Zappa's bust and sculptor Constantine Bogdanas was set up in Vilnius, Lithuania (54.683, 25.2759).
