I. Yuanqu century dawn ape.

In 1994, Chinese and American scientists came back to visit Yuanqu County, Shanxi Province. Here, the first Eocene mammal fossil was found in the history of Chinese science, and in May 1995, when they were in Zhaili on the north bank of the Yellow River, they found many fossils of the world's earliest apes with the characteristics of higher primates, mainly fossilized teeth and jaws, and named them "Century Dawn Ape".

Introduction:

In the early 1990s, when Chinese and American scientists were on a research trip to Liyang, Jiangsu Province, China, the Chinese scholar Qi Tao discovered the Chinese dawning ape, which means "the dawning of the dawn of the suborder of apes," and it was a high primate that lived in the middle of the Middle Eocene 45 million years ago, 10 million years earlier than the discovery of Africa. Higher primates.

According to evidence, the dawn of the ape lived 45 million years ago, mainly in the tropical or subtropical areas of the warm and humid woodlands, is the smallest primate discovered by mankind so far, its head is slightly larger than a mouse, weighing about 200 grams. From the excavation of the fossils, the dawn ape already has many features of higher primates, such as small incisors, large canines, rounded mandibular angle, the front edge of the chin upright, and so on.

The researchers engaged in the study of the century dawn ape are three researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), namely, Wang Jingwen, Tong Yongsheng, and Huang Xueshi, and two U.S. Drs. Mary Shimason and Christopher Bierd. Experts believe that the discovery of the century dawn ape overturned the assertion that humans originated in Africa and pushed forward the emergence of hominids by 10 million years.
