'Primate Origins and Adaptations,' December 13-15, 2001, Chicago, Illinois -- Organizers: Matthew J. Ravosa and Marian Dagosto (Northwestern University). Recent discoveries of fossil primates from the Eocene (36-55 mya) of Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa have greatly increased our knowledge of the diversity of the first primates as well as documenting a far broader spectrum of adaptations and body sizes than sampled previously.
