Azibiidae, Azibius, Djebelemur

( Back to T:TDYK )

( Article history links:

~~... that fossil primates such as azibiids (including Azibius and Algeripithecus) and Djebelemur have shown that lemur evolution started in Africa?~~

Comment: I have been rewriting/creating five articles, and I will be doing five reviews for other DYK nominations over the coming hours. Also, these articles were written over the course of several days, but all within 5 days of each other. I could try to consolidate all five of my articles into one long hook, but the hook would have to miss the most interesting facts about Algeripithecus and Altiatlasius (which I nominated independently). If they need to be consolidated, I can suggest a single hook for all five. – Maky ^« talk » 23:57, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Alt 1: ... that azibiids (including Azibius and Algeripithecus), Djebelemur and Altiatlasius are a few of the African fossil primates that weigh heavily on primate evolution and particularly the evolution of lemurs? – Maky ^« talk » 23:59, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

The separate nominations that suggested (but not favored) for merging into the alternative hook include Template:Did you know nominations/Algeripithecus and Template:Did you know nominations/Altiatlasius. – Maky ^« talk » 00:11, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
~~And now another one, Plesiopithecus could be added to the list in ALT1 (see its nom). However, I still favor keeping these DYK noms separate.~~ – Maky ^« talk » 08:23, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't think I agree with the hook: lemur evolution most probably started in some primordial sea a few billion years ago. Each of these fossils has contributed in a complex way to the complex debates about the origins of several primate groups; perhaps you can make more interesting separate hooks about these animals.

Lol! I love your down-to-earth, dry humor. Here are some alt hooks to split them up. – Maky ^« talk » 02:54, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Alt 2a: ... that the identification of azibiids, a type of fossil primate including Azibius, as either strepsirrhine or haplorine weighs heavily on the African or Asian origins of primates?

: lengths, dates, rs, tweaked hook checked out; good to go, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 19:56, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Alt 2b: ... that unlike its closest living relatives, lemurs and lorisoids, Djebelemur from Eocene Africa probably lacked a toothcomb?

Need a reviewer to do a complete review, preferably based on the separate 2a and 2b hooks just above. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:37, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Reiterating the two ticks for 2a and 2b down here to avoid confusion, since they were inserted above the "again" icon. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:32, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Further note: as the split ALT2 hooks are being used—Alt 2b has already been promoted, leaving Alt 2a still to be taken—the original combined hook has been struck as has Alt 2b and the DYKmake template for it, to prevent their (re)use. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:43, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
