A skull of Aegyptopithecus zeuxis from the Fayum formation, Egypt. This was a small, tree-dwelling primate that lived 30 million years ago, an early catarrhine related to the common ancestors of cercopithecoid monkeys, apes, and humans. #inktober

Finally met the original fossil of #Aegyptopithecus — the ancient primate that lived in Egypt 30 million years ago. A true ancestor moment!

Aegyptopithecus (Right), an early primate, and Bastetodon (left), its likely predator. They coexisted in Egypt 30 million years ago, shaping a dynamic ecosystem.

And then, the goal is to use our understanding of how anatomy maps to diet and actual behavior to inform interpretation of fossil anatomy, since we'll probably never be able to watch Australopithecus or Proconsul or Aegyptopithecus chew, but it would be nice to have more informed interpretations.
