This suggests that, like many primates, Aegyptopithecus had good vision.    From Wordnik.com.  [Human Ancestor had Lime-Size Brain | Impact Lab] Reference

Elwyn Simons, a primatologist at Duke University, and colleagues discovered only the second intact cranium of Aegyptopithecus zeuxis found to date.    From Wordnik.com.  [Human Ancestor had Lime-Size Brain | Impact Lab] Reference

The new fossil indicates Aegyptopithecus had a relatively primitive brain compared to its descendants: humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and other so-called Old World primates.    From Wordnik.com.  [Human Ancestor had Lime-Size Brain | Impact Lab] Reference

In addition, the new skull is less than half the size of the only other nearly complete Aegyptopithecus skull, found by Simons and colleagues found at the same Egyptian site in 1966.    From Wordnik.com.  [Human Ancestor had Lime-Size Brain | Impact Lab] Reference

He describes fossils of the first prosimians in the Eocene, the rodent-sized Teilhardina and Cantius, and gives room to Aegyptopithecus the "dawn ape" that lived some 35 million years ago and preceded the split between apes and Old World monkeys, and who might actually have a stronger claim to the "missing link" mantle.    From Wordnik.com.  [Long Lost Relative] Reference

Aegyptopithecus this bone is ring-shaped, but in Saadanius it's a tubular outgrowth like that of apes and Old World monkeys.    From Wordnik.com.  [Newswise: Latest News] Reference

In fact, Falk believes the virtual model of Aegyptopithecus’ brain, used in the new study, suggests the brain was even less advanced than the researchers propose.    From Wordnik.com.  [Human Ancestor had Lime-Size Brain | Impact Lab] Reference
