The research of Miocene hominoids have been hotly debated among comparative anatomists since before the 1960s and between paleoprimatologists and molecular biochemists after the 1960s. Two schools of thought, equipped with drastically different theoretical orientations, have had much impact on the interpretations of the fossil "facts.".Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The research of Miocene hominoids have been hotly debated among comparative anatomists since before the 1960s and between paleoprimatologists and molecular biochemists after the 1960s. Two schools of thought, equipped with drastically different theoretical orientations, have had much impact on the interpretations of the fossil "facts.".
520 $a This study puts more emphasis on the interrelationships of morphology, environment and behavior. Morphology is studied by using one of the richest Miocene fossil hominoid localities, Lufeng, and Xiaolongtan, Yunnan Province, China. In addition, newly found Dryopithecus-like fossil localities at Sihong, Jiangsu Province, are also included to expand our fossil samples. Macroenvironmental changes are inferred from a global cooling trend and plate tectonics. Microenvironment econiches are reconstructed from faunal and floral assemblages, through ecological diversity analysis, from those fossil hominoid localities.
520 $a A primate behavioral ecological model is used as operational knowledge to infer dietary habits and locomotive patterns of fossil samples. Taphonomic study helps us explain the biases of subadult individuals of fossil samples, as well as their potential primary living sites. Morphological characters are split into adaptive and exadaptive categories, and also distinguish those categories caused by parallel changes through homology and analogy within their spatial and temporal contexts.
520 $a Taxonomically, three genera (assigned to represent three different adaptive zones and subzones for local species) represent the Miocene hominoids--Proconsul, representing early Miocene African species; Dryopithecus for early middle and late middle Miocene European species; and Sivapithecus for early late Miocene Indo-Asian species. Such a taxonomic scheme is used to account for different tempos and modes of Miocene hominoid evolution.
520 $a The lineage relationship of one of the descendants of Sivapithecus in China--orang-utan--has been confirmed morphologically and biochemically. Therefore, the small-bodied "Ramapithecus" should be recognized as a female partner of Sivapithecus instead of the hominid marker. In the same vein, argument on the origin of hominids in Asia should automatically collapse.
