Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropoid versus strepsirhine status of the African Eocene primates Algeripithecus and Azibius: craniodental evidence.
Rodolphe Tabuce,Laurent Marivaux,Renaud Lebrun,Mohammed Adaci,Mustapha Bensalah,Pierre-Henri Fabre,Emmanuel Fara,Helder Gomes Rodrigues,Lionel Hautier,Jean-Jacques Jaeger,Vincent Lazzari,Fateh Mebrouk,Stéphane Peigné,Jean Sudre,Paul Tafforeau,Xavier Valentin,Mahammed Mahboubi +16 more
TL;DR: New data support the idea that Algeripithecus and its sister genus Azibius are the earliest offshoots of an Afro–Arabian strepsirhine clade that embraces extant toothcombed primates and their fossil relatives and strongly challenge the role of Africa as the ancestral homeland for anthropoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Tertiary mammals from North Africa reinforce the molecular Afrotheria clade.
Rodolphe Tabuce,Laurent Marivaux,Mohammed Adaci,Mustapha Bensalah,Jean-Louis Hartenberger,Mohammed Mahboubi,Fateh Mebrouk,Paul Tafforeau,Paul Tafforeau,Jean-Jacques Jaeger +9 more
TL;DR: New dental and postcranial evidence of Eocene stem hyrax and macroscelidid from North Africa are reported that, for the first time, provides a congruent phylogenetic view with the molecular Afrotheria clade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Afrotherian mammals: a review of current data
TL;DR: Molecular data suggest an African origin for Afrotheria and a long period of endemism on that continent, and paleontological data argue for the broad distribution of afrotherians during the Tertiary and do not exclude their Laurasian origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Djebelemur, a tiny pre-tooth-combed primate from the Eocene of Tunisia: a glimpse into the origin of crown strepsirhines.
Laurent Marivaux,Anusha Ramdarshan,Anusha Ramdarshan,El Mabrouk Essid,Wissem Marzougui,Hayet Khayati Ammar,Renaud Lebrun,Bernard Marandat,Gilles Merzeraud,Rodolphe Tabuce,Monique Vianey-Liaud +10 more
TL;DR: These new fossil data suggest that the differentiation of the tooth-comb must postdate the djebelemurid divergence, a view which constrains the timing of crown strepsirhine origins to the Middle Eocene, and then precludes the existence of unrecorded lineage extinctions of tooth-combed primates during the earliest Tertiary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cranial Remain from Tunisia Provides New Clues for the Origin and Evolution of Sirenia (Mammalia, Afrotheria) in Africa
Julien Benoit,Sylvain Adnet,Essid El Mabrouk,Hayet Khayati,Mustapha Ben Haj Ali,Laurent Marivaux,Gilles Merzeraud,Samuel Merigeaud,Monique Vianey-Liaud,Rodolphe Tabuce +9 more
TL;DR: X-ray microtomography is used to investigate a newly discovered sirenian petrosal from the Eocene of Tunisia, which represents the oldest occurrence of sirenians in Africa and supports their African origin.
