Die Forscher vermuten als Ursache regionale Besonderheiten und eine Zeit relativ schnellen Klimawechsels.
„Die chronologischen Zusammenhänge unterstützen die Vorstellung, dass der Hominoid von Engelswies von afro-arabischen Afropithecinen abstammte“, schreiben die Forscher.
Er wäre damit der erste Menschenaffe, der aus Afrika nach Eurasien eingewandert ist.

As the authors write, “The chronologic relationships support the idea that the Engelswies hominoid was a descendent of Early Miocene Afro-Arabian afropithecins”.
This find is thus the earliest known trace of hominoids which immigrated to Eurasia from Africa.
