Other researchers were adding to the evolutionary mosaic. In 1969, after re-evaluating the fragmentary remains of a monkey-size creature called Ramapithecus ?found in India's Siwalik Hills and first described by Yale Paleontologist G.E. Lewis is in 1934?Elwyn Simons, then at Yale, and his former student David Pilbeam became convinced that this creature too was an ancestor. They noted that his teeth were far closer to those of other hominids (manlike creatures) than to those of apes. Indeed, says Simons, 47, who now heads the Duke University Center for the Study of Primate Biology and History...

Hardly a word is ever out of place; his postcards can no more be excerpted than his essays. As these letters reveal, White was, like many humorists, a secret sufferer.

...Asia and Africa 8,000,000 to 15 million years ago. But they have never known exactly where to place him on the evolutionary ladder. Did he belong to the family of apes? Or was he already a member of the family of man? The questions puzzled Yale Paleontologist Elwyn L. Simons, and his former student, David R. Pilbeam, both of whom had strongly suspected for some time that Rama was really more man than...
