Interesting, but how does he figure the 40 million year "predominantly
frugivorous anthropoid lineage". From what I've read, fruit consumption
has never been a majority component of anthropoid diets, nor is it a
majority component of the modern chimpanzee diet. Of course they eat
fruit, but the diet of the great apes is predominantly leaves and stems.
