Algeripithecus

 * ... that Algeripithecus, a 46-50 million year old fossil primate from Algeria, was once crucial for the African origins of early simians (monkeys & apes), but now suggests African origins for lemurs and lorisoids?

 * Comment: I have been rewriting/creating five articles, and I will be doing five reviews for other DYK nominations over the coming hours. – Maky  « talk » 23:43, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * There is also a question of whether this nomination should be merged with another—see: Template:Did you know nominations/Azibiidae – Maky  « talk » 00:08, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Long enough, expanded five-fold from June 2, the hook is in the article, and is verified. The hook is 209 characters, on the long side of the 200 limit, can it be made a little shorter? Spot-checks reveal no copyvio concerns. Can we come to some settlement about whether this article is to be bundled into another nom? Personally, I find this hook more interesting than the multiple hook. If the decision is to keep this nom separate, I'm ready to support pending the hook issue being dealt with. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 13:41, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I've shortened the hook above (down to 192).  Also, there's been one vote to keep the hooks separate at the other nomination, and I favor that, too.  Let's just do that. –  Maky  « talk » 01:41, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
