उत्तर
Dryopithecus
It is a group of apes whose fossils were obtained from rocks of Miocene (about 20-25 million years old) from Africa and Asia. Their fossils from the rocks of Bilaspur (India) have been named Sivapithecus and from East Africa Dryopithecus africanus.
Dryopithecus resembled great apes. Their arms and legs were of almost equal length. They had semi-erect posture and large canines like those of modern apes. They are supposed to be the common ancestors of apes and men.
