- As a group the apes have been subject of much
mythology and many misconceptions. - Probably originated in the early Miocene period,
ca. 17-20 mya. - Pleistocene 1.6 mya 10,000 years B.P.
- Pilocene 5 1.6mya
- Miocene 25 5mya
- Oligocene 35 25mya
- They flourished in the later part of the Miocene,
15 to 5 mya. - Well represented in the fossil record by such
forms as - Proconsul
- Sivapithecus
