The appropriate response is parapithecids. The parapithecids are the most primitive of the higher primates. Its primitive highlights incorporate its dental equation which is the same as New World Monkeys. From this, we may derive that it is the primitive dental equation of every single higher primate and that it pre-dated the split between Old World and New World monkeys.
