Aegyptopithecus zeuxis is an extinct primate species that lived during the Oligocene epoch, approximately 30 to 29 million years ago. Belonging to the family Propliopithecidae, Aegyptopithecus is considered an early catarrhine primate, which is a group that includes Old World monkeys and apes. Fossils of Aegyptopithecus have been discovered in Egypt, and it is recognized for its relatively large size compared to other primates of its time, suggesting some adaptations to a life in the trees. It is an important species for understanding the evolutionary history of primates and their divergence into different lineages.
