Summary edit

Description
English: Comparison between two fossil species of afrotarsiid, Afrasia and Afrotarsius, both from the Eocene, but the former was found in Asia and the latter was found in Africa. According to the authors, this discovery adds support to the hypothesis that simians (monkeys & apes) originated in Asia and dispersed to Africa during the late middle Eocene.
