“…keiyuanensis is the earliest known hominoid in China. The general complexion of L. keiyuanensis closely resembles those from the Chinji and Nagri Formations of the Siwalik Group in Pakistan (Harrison et al, 2002;Woo, 1957;Zhang, 1987) and has a close similarity with L. chiangmuanensis (Chaimanee et al, 2003). Both the Sivapithecus and Lufengpithecus were regarded as common ancestor of human and great apes.…”

The late Cenozoic extensional basins in Yunnan Province (southwestern China), which are kinematically linked with the regional strike-slip faults, can provide meaningful constraints on the fault activity history and tectonic evolution of the southeast margin of the Tibetan Plateau (SEMTP), and further on the geodynamic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau. However, this has been severely impeded by the lack of precise age constraints on the timing of fault activity. To better constrain the timing of fault activity and the tectonic rotation of SEMTP, we undertook a high-resolution magnetostratigraphic study on the Xiaolongtan Formation in the Xiaolongtan Basin, which is located at the southern tip of the Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang fault and is well-known by the presence of hominoid Lufengpithecus keiyuanensis. Rock magnetic experiments indicate that magnetite is the main remanence carrier. Correlation to the geomagnetic polarity timescale was achieved by combining magnetostratigraphic and biostratigraphic data. Our correlation suggests that the Xiaolongtan Formation sedimentary sequence spans from Chron C5Ar.1r to Chron C5n.2n, which indicates that the age of the Xiaolongtan Formation ranges from 10 Ma to 12.7 Ma, and that the ages of the two sedimentary layers possibly bearing the hominoid L. keiyuanensis are~11.6 Ma or~12.5 Ma. The basal age of the sediments is 12.7 Ma, which indicates that the activation of the southern Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang fault was initiated at this time. The overall mean paleomagnetic direction (D = 353.2°, I = 34.2°, α 95 = 2.1°, n = 166) documents a counter-clockwise vertical axis rotation of −8 ± 3°with respect to Eurasia, which is the response to the activity of the left-lateral Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang Fault.

“…Human fossils and/or stone tools from middle and late Pleistocene cave sites in southern China and Indochina are also often associated with the remains of stegodons and the giant tapir (Ciochon and Olsen 1991;Bekken et al 2004;Schepartz et al 2005). Early Homo was also associated at some sites with Gigantopithecus (Ciochon et al 1996;Harrison et al 2002). These associations suggest some form of interaction, but there is no direct evidence for hunting, and scavenging is equally plausible in most cases.…”

terra australis 32Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia -lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present.Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements.

“…The only known crouzeliine from Asia, Laccopithecus robustus from the late Miocene (~7-8 Ma) of Shihuiba, Lufeng, China Pan, 1984, 1985;Pan, 1988Pan, , 1998Pan et al, 1989;Harrison et al, 1991;Harrison and Gu, 1999), points to a relatively late arrival of this clade into the region. Nevertheless, the extinction of pliopithecids in Europe by the close of the Vallesian (at ~8.7 Ma) would indicate that late surviving crouzeliines reached East Asia before 9 Ma, possible at the same time that hominoids arrived in the region (the earliest occurrence of which is recorded at Xiaolongtan, China, best correlated with MN 9, ~10-11 Ma; Qiu and Qiu, 1995;Pickford and Liu, 2001;Harrison et al, 2002b).…”

Catarrhines originated in Afro-Arabia during the Paleogene, and were restricted to this zoogeographic province until the early Miocene. During this period of isolation, several major clades of catarrhines originated. The pliopithecoids were the first catarrhines to migrate out of Africa at ~18-20 Ma, while contemporary proconsulids and dendropithecids may have been restricted to Afro-Arabia. Hominoids and Old World monkeys originated in Africa prior to 20 Ma, but neither clade became an important component of the catarrhine fauna until the middle to late Miocene. At ~15-17 Ma, hominoids expanded into Eurasia, while cercopithecids arrived somewhat later, during the late Miocene. The earliest catarrhines in Eurasia, Dionysopithecus and Platodontopithecus from Sihong in China (~17-18 Ma), represent the primitive sister group of all other pliopithecoids. From this ancestral stock in Asia, the more specialized pliopithecines extended their range westwards into Europe by ~16-17 Ma, where a pliopithecine-like common ancestor gave rise to the crouzeliines. The only known crouzeliine from Asia, Laccopithecus, from the late Miocene of China, points to a late arrival of this clade in the region. Small catarrhines from the middle Miocene of Pakistan (~16-17 Ma), and new material from China, may possibly have closer ties with dendropithecids, proconsulids, or hylobatids.
