It was discovered in 1837 by \u00C9douard Lartet (1801\u20131871) in France, with fossils subsequently discovered in Switzerland, Slovakia and Spain.Pliopithecus' had a similar size and form to modern gibbons, to which it may be related, although it is probably not a direct ancestor. It had long limbs, hands, and feet, and may have been able to brachiate, swinging between trees using its arms."@en . . . . . "Pliopithecus"@en . . . . . . .
