- A first look at the jaw shows that it's different from all other fossil hominoids and more similar to large, existing apes.
- The fossil record is replete with evidence supporting a plant-eating, basically frugivorous way of life for ancestral anthropoids, particularly hominoids.
- The evolutionary trajectory of hominoids is intimately bound up with the exploitation of ripe, fleshy fruits.
- All extant hominoids with the exception of highland gorillas are strongly frugivorous.
adjective ˈhɒmɪnɔɪdˈhäməˌnoid Zoology Relating to hominoid primates. Example sentencesExamples - Fruit-eating also characterized a number of now extinct hominoid lineages.
- The remainder of the volume consists of quite thorough summaries split into five major fossil groups: prosimians, New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, hominoid primates, and human ancestors.
- Right from the very first poster, visitors are thrown back millions of years to Africa, the only continent to yield a relatively continuous record of hominoid evolution.
- At present, there seems little evidence to support a view of selection specifically for ethanol detection or its utilization over the course of hominoid evolution.
- Overall, this pattern of selective pressure along the gene seems to have remained constant during hominoid evolution.
OriginEarly 20th century: from Latin homo, homin- 'human being' + -oid.
