Oligopithecus

Wikipedia Abstract

Oligopithecus is a fossil primate that lived in Africa during the Early Oligocene. It is represented by one species, Oligopithecus savagei, known from one jaw bone found in Egypt. As a propliopithecoid, it is older than the ape and New World monkey split, yet is more related to either of those groups than it is to any other primates.
