For more than 100 years, scientists have debated the relationships of a bizarre family of extinct mammals called apatemyids. Distinguished by can opener-shaped upper front teeth and two unusually long fingers, the odd features of these critters have led researchers to compare them with animals from
scientists believe L. kayi would have looked similar to the aye-aye, a modern-day lemur
Humans and other primates are outliers among mammals for having nails instead of claws. But how, when and why we transitioned from claws to nails has been an evolutionary head-scratcher. Now, new fossil evidence shows that ancient primates – including one of the oldest known, Teilhardina brandti

Encased in hard rock, the bones of many fossilized mammals are only partially visible for scientists to study. A poor attempt to take apart the rock and view the complete fossil may damage the bone, but micro-CT scanning technology has safeguarded the fate of these specimens, many of which are tens

The roots of the primate family tree are now more clearly defined in the fossil record, and about 10 million years older than thought, according to Florida Museum of Natural History vertebrate paleontologist Jonathan Bloch and his team of researchers. The team, led by Bloch, is proposing that a grou
Some scientists have proposed that they were related to flying lemurs.

For more than 140 years, Mixodectes pungens, a species of small mammal that inhabited western North America in the early Paleocene, was a mystery. What little was known about them had been mostly gleaned from analyzing fossilized teeth and jawbone fragments. But a new study of the most complete s
Our findings show that they are close relatives of primates and colugos — flying lemurs
