does this new find suggest anything about the way modern hylobates perform rapid branchiation is actually a more derived feature? also congratulations on this amazing find, it really does fit in a nice spot on the simian primate family tree and news of its discovery made my week!

is the estimated age of the fossil corroborated by any radiometric or other absolute dating technique? (I realize carbon dating is out of the question, but just wondering)

+eupf horia Hi! Thanks for your question. The magnetostratigraphic analysis of the late Miocene continental deposits from the Valle`s-Penede`s Basin, combined with its well-documented fossil mammal record, has provided a well-resolved chronology for the upper basin infill. The composite magnetic polarity sequence is based on 400 paleomagnetic sites, so we are quite sure of the age.
