Striking morphological resemblance between the right upper molars (M2) of the Asian eosimiiform Afrasia djijidae and the contemporaneous African eosimiiform Afrotarsius libycus supports an Asia-to-Africa anthropoid dispersal during the middle Eocene. The regions where the two taxa were discovered are positioned on a paleogeographic map of the Old World during the late Eocene (35 Ma) drawn by Ron Blakey (http://www2.nau.edu/rcb7).
