Fossil evidence for an ancient divergence of lorises and galagos

“…Morphological, molecular, and biogeographic data bearing on early primate evolution suggest that the clade containing extant (or ‘crown’) strepsirrhine primates (lemurs, lorises and galagos) arose in Afro-Arabia during the early Palaeogene, but over a century of palaeontological exploration on that landmass has failed to uncover any conclusive support for that hypothesis. …”

REMARKS ON THE STRATIGRAPHY AND BIOCHRONOLOGY OF THE LATE PLEISTOCENE DEPOSIT OF INGARANO (APULIA, SOUTHERN ITALY) by CARMELO PETRONIO, RAFFAELE SARDELLA

“…New field data on the Late Pleistocene deposit of Ingarano (Foggia) allow us to hypothesise the occurrence of three faunal assemblages (Ingarano a, b, c) respectively referable to isotopic stages 4, 3 and 2 of the palaeotemperature scale. The palaeontological data match with the alternating palaeoclimatical conditions during Late Pleistocene times.…”
