摘要：

The mid-Pliocene mammalian faunal locality of Saint-Vallier has yielded two isolated cercopithecine primate teeth, an I-1 and a dP(3). Both are most similar is size and morphology to those of macaques, such as the extant Macaca sylvanus, to which species the Saint-Vallier population is referred (perhaps as part of a temporal subspecies M. sylvanus florentina). Such macaques would have been able to tolerate a cool climate but would probably have required some trees in which to sleep and feed. (C) 2004 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
