    1991, Hominidae, entry in Joan C. Stevenson, Dictionary of Concepts in Physical Anthropology, page 201, Cope derived anthropoids from an extinct fossil tarsioid; he suggested that apes and humans evolved from a prosimian and skipped the monkey stage. Hubrecht noted that tarsioids were different from lemurs and more like higher primates (monkeys, apes, and humans).
