“…Symmetrical gait quadrupedalism on horizontal substrates (similar to that observed in cercopithecoids) and climbing with powerful pollical grasping have been suggested to make up the majority of the locomotor repertoire of several Miocene catarrhines, such as Proconsul, Afropithecus, Equatorius, and Sivapithecus (Begun et al, 1994;Rose, 1994;Ward, 1998;Madar et al, 2002;Sherwood et al, 2002;Dunsworth, 2006). Quadrupedalism has also been inferred to play an important role in another well-represented Miocene catarrhine, Pliopithecus vindobonensis (Zapfe, 1958(Zapfe, , 1960Rose, 1994).…”

“…In particular, the upper forelimb morphology of Sivapithecus is said to be too primitive for the taxon to be related to Pongo (Benefit and McCrossin, 1995;Pilbeam, 1996Pilbeam, , 1997. This is based primarily on the observations that the proximal half of the shaft of the humerus in Sivapithecus is retroflexed or bent posteriorly and distally (concave posteriorly), as in early Miocene hominoids, monkeys, and indeed most mammals (Pilbeam et al, 1990;Rose, 1997;Madar et al, 2002). The region is also characterized by a very strongly developed platform for the insertion of the pectoralis major and deltoideus muscles.…”

“…The other two species are smaller, and estimates of their body mass are less certain because of limited postcranial remains. What remains there are range in size between those of large macaques and baboons on the one hand and small chimpanzees on the other (Pilbeam et al, 1980;Rose, 1984;Madar et al, 2002), suggesting that S. indicus and S. sivalensis were roughly half the size of S. parvada.…”
