化石發現

[编辑]

醉猿的化石最初是由李傳夔於1978年在中國江蘇雙溝發現,化石包括了一個左上頜骨連同幾顆牙齒[1]由於當時李傳夔是住在雙溝的一間酒廠內,故將這些化石以希臘神話的酒神狄俄倪索斯來命名,並以雙溝為種小名。李傳夔同時間亦發現了寬齒猿的化石。

後來於1990年發現了另一些醉猿化石,並名為東方醉猿。在巴基斯坦亦有發現一些醉猿的遺骸。[2]

分類問題

[编辑]

醉猿最初被認為是屬於原康修爾猿科,但更多的化石發現顯示醉猿的牙齒更像樹猿,故被分類在上猿科中。

演化歷史

[编辑]

醉猿的化石屬於中新世早期,比原康修爾猿的更早。不過學者一般都不認為醉猿就是現今長臂猿的祖先,而是介乎人類之間的分支。有些學者認為醉猿的祖先是生活在非洲,並遷徙至歐洲演化上猿。而上猿亦進而擴散至亞洲,成為醉猿及寬齒猿。
