| Research Abstract |
Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, has sent several expeditions to South America since 1976, and studied the extant and extinct New World monkeys. In the field season of 1986, a nearly complete mandible was obtained from the middle Miocene deposits in the La Venta badlands, Colombia. It has been reported as a new species in thr world famous journal, Nature. This fossil is the first example of aliving New World monkey genus appearing in the Teriary rooks. Further, Many fossil Teeth of primates, bats, rodents and others have been collected from the same area. They are now examined by the members and their cooperators, above all Prof. C.Villarroel.
