Question

Write a note on Propliopithecus.

Answer 1

The 40 cm (1 ft 4 in) long creature resembled today's gibbons. Its eyes faced forwards, giving it stereoscopical vision. Propliopithecuswas most likely an omnivore. It is possible that Propliopithecus is the same creature as Aegyptopithecus. If that would be the case the name Propliopithecus would take precedence over Aegyptopithecus according to ICZN rules, because it was coined earlier.


I hope help you

Answer 2

Answer:

Propliopithecus an 40cm long creature, is an extinct genus of primate that  resembled today's gibbons.

• The eyes of the propliopithecus  was meant to look forward, giving it a stereoscopic vision. Most probably, propliopithecus was an omnivore and may be the same species as Aegyptopithecus.
• Propliopithecus had small canine teeth, lacked spaces to match the other jaw's canine teeth, and had molars that were very similar to Australopithecus. Such characteristics set Propliopithecus apart from Aegyptopithecus, which together with other more common simian dental characteristics had large canine teeth.
