  • The genus Apidium (from Latin for "small bull", as the first fossils were thought to be from a type of a cow) is that of at least three extinct primates living in the late Eocene - early Oligocene, roughly 36 to 32 MYA. Apidium fossils are common in the Fayoum deposits of Egypt. Fossils of the earlier species, Apidium moustafai, are rare; fossils of the later species Apidium phiomense are fairly common.

abstract
  • Apidium and its fellow members of the Parapithecidae family are stem anthropoids that possess all the hallmarks of modern Anthropoidea.[1] Their ancestry is closely tied to the Eocene Asian group Eosimiidae.
  • The genus Apidium (from Latin for "small bull", as the first fossils were thought to be from a type of a cow) is that of at least three extinct primates living in the late Eocene - early Oligocene, roughly 36 to 32 MYA. Apidium fossils are common in the Fayoum deposits of Egypt. Fossils of the earlier species, Apidium moustafai, are rare; fossils of the later species Apidium phiomense are fairly common. Apidium is placed within the Parapithecidae family in the parvorder Catarrhini, making it closely related to the modern Old World haplorrhine primates, although roughly equally close to the Old World monkeys which it closelly resembles, and to the apes.
