However, if present day anthropoids are any indication, early primates were quick to take advantage of these new arboreal plant foods. |

Extant anthropoids appear to be blithely insouciant to such syndromes. |
|
All models find the same arrangement for the primates and the Malayan flying lemur, with the flying lemur separating the anthropoids from the other primates. |
|
The fossil record is replete with evidence supporting a plant-eating, basically frugivorous way of life for ancestral anthropoids, particularly hominoids. |
|
In fact, anthropoids are matched only by raptors for their sharp vision. |
|
The urns are generally topped with heads of statues anthropoids with a generally anthropomorphic. |
|
As anatomists can readily see, the heel bones of prosimians are longer than those of anthropoids, giving them leverage for their long leaps. |
|
Instead, he finds evidence that anthropoids share closer bonds with lemurlike creatures called adapids. |
|
Most scientists consider adapiforms as basal members of the suborder that includes lemurs and lorises, which are distantly related to humans and other anthropoids. |
|
The Eosimias fossils also suggest that early anthropoids developed from animals related to modern tarsiers and an extinct group called omomyids, he adds. |
