Based on genetic analysis of living primates calibrated by the fossil record, it is estimated that apes and Old World monkeys diverged into separate lineages around 25 mya.

<h3>Miocene apes and modern apes</h3>
  • The size of the hands is one way that Miocene primates and modern apes differ.
  • The prehistoric primate genus Sivapithecus, which lived between 23.7 and 5.3 million years ago, is regarded to be the orangutan's closest living relative.
  • Early in the Miocene, primitive catarrhines, apes, and Old World monkeys were confined to Africa, but by the middle and late Miocene, they had expanded to Eurasia as well.
  • Close relatives of living lorises include Nycticeboides and Nycticebus.
  • Proconsul africanus, a species of ape, flourished between 23 and 14 million years ago during the Miocene epoch.
  • It ate fruit, but probably not as much fruit as an ape does now, and had a brain that was larger than a monkey's.
