| This value corresponds to the upper limit of the split between hominoid and cercopithecoid primates. |
| Overall, this pattern of selective pressure along the gene seems to have remained constant during hominoid evolution. |
| Fossils show that the area is one of the oldest sites of hominoid habitation in the world. |
| Until now it was not clear at what point in hominoid or hominid evolution this stage evolved. |
| Right from the very first poster, visitors are thrown back millions of years to Africa, the only continent to yield a relatively continuous record of hominoid evolution. |
| In 1997 the description of a new genus and species, Morotopithecus bishopi, was announced, and this 20-million-year-old fossil is claimed to show the earliest traces of modern hominoid skeletal features. |
