Post by: shuhan330 on Jun 4, 2015
Aegyptopithecus
  A. is one of the oldest known platyrrhine monkeys, dating 27 million years of age from Bolivia    
  B. was clearly an Old World monkey, judging from it 2123/2123 dental formula and its 4-cusped bilophodont molars    
  C. possessed both Old World monkey and ape traits and is best classified as a "generalized catarrhine"    
  D. is the oldest known ape, whose anatomy included 5-cusped Y-5 molars, a stiff and tailless spine, and adaptations for brachiation
