An ancient Chinese tomb, possibly that of the First Emperor's grandmother, has produced a skull from a previously unknown, extinct, species of gibbon. link Military significance unknown, but if you've always wanted to model a Qin commander with a small ape sitting on his (or her) shoulder, now's your chance. |

The scientific name should be the Euell Theophilus Gibbon. |

The other apes are sure to follow this one. Just looked up how many species of gibbon exist. Along the way I found out that all apes are endangered with some types of gorilla and orangutan critically. Sad. And Dan, I know that you know that the creature on Geoffrey Rush's shoulder is a Capuchin. |

Yes. It's a capuchin. But a baby or some extinct pygmy Gibbon would work too. Dan |
