Did ancient African apes journey into Europe before returning to Africa?

PROFESSOR DAVID R. BEGUN is a paleoanthropologist and paleoprimatologist based in the University of Toronto, researching the evolution of the lineages of great apes and humans.

In August, 2023, news of the discovery of a new fossil ape – the 8-million-year-old Anadoluvius turkae – hit the headlines, supporting the hypothesis that the ancestors of African apes and humans migrated into Europe before returning to Africa...

MARK from Evolution Soup goes on this fascinating migratory journey that takes us from Africa, to Miocene Europe, and back to Africa again.
