DESCRIPTION:Fossil evidence of Miocene apes from several localities in Eur
 ope suggest a genetic connection with the African ape and human lineage. W
 hile a European origin of this lineage may seem surprising\, it helps to e
 xplain the appearance of several key adaptations of the great apes\, inclu
 ding upright posture and increased brain size.  In this talk David Begun d
 iscusses the evidence for African apes in Europe and the possible local se
 lective pressures that lead to these great ape evolutionary innovations. M
