We report the discovery of a fauna of primates from Eocene (approximately 45 Myr) deposits in China having a diversity greater than in European and North American localities of similar antiquity. From the many forms that will illuminate questions of primate phylogeny comes evidence for a basal radiation of primitive simians.
我们报告了在中国始新世（约4500万年前）沉积物中发现的灵长类动物群，其多样性高于欧洲和北美同期古老地区。从众多能够阐明灵长类系统发育问题的物种中，有证据表明原始猿猴出现了基础辐射。
