Hey, I'm new here, but I had an idea for a species of <i>Aechaeopluma</i> from eastern Africa. If anyone needs any scientific names, feel free to let me know. ...
... Welcome :) Indeed probably we could use another archeoplumian species, since we only have two anyway, but please note mattiraptors and metacanids occupy...
Since we've decided to have different animals playing galliforme niches (with actual galliformes being mostly arboreal birds), I suggest this: Africa: Bantams...

... Not Bad. Perhaps your railtites might be more widespread....
... Actually, Looking at modern terrestrial "Gamefowl" shows a large amount of convergence within Galliformes, Gruiformes, Charadriiformes and Paleognaths...
... Calm down David, Ida is cute and quite well preserved, but she (as yet) does not help us much regarding primate phylogeny. Now if she had been an early...
... And lets not forget galloanserae, paleognathae and mesites all hail from Gondwanna, which makes the matters more complex. Thus, I suspect the end result is...
... If you allow me I'd like to make the african butters/henchicks/whatever part of the railtite clade; I fancy having all paleognaths within a flighted clade...
... Appearently Darwinus or whatever you spell it might actually just be a regular adapid according to someone I forgot the name, so it isn't notable enough to...
... You'd have to ask Tim, they are his creation. I think he would be okay with that. Just don't touch his Lithornids IIRC. Those are supposed to be some sort...
... Yes, so far Spec is limited to AFAIK,stem and true plesiadapiformes and basal adapoids and anthropoids. To be honest, I don't know what David was sweating...
... Arboreal ratites in Congo? Interesting... (speaking of african birds, we should turn the afroheas in galliformes; they make more sense that way, and there...

... Look at the Danian Carpolestids, then look at the rest of the "plesiadapiformes"... (which all seem to been paraphyletic and yet "true" primates). Then...
... I'll check that against the latest paper, provided I actually find it again. That whole area of the tree seems to be very unstable. Contact between India...

... Ah, now it makes sense :) ... Basically we have the forerunners of HE's placentals all present on Spec, only that evolution occured differently. Nothing...
... If there is any linage of non-avian archosaur familiar to human beings in Spec that'll be Eusuchia. These are the so "beloved" semi-aquatic crocodilians...
