on digit II. Williams et. al. argue that the tibulo-fibular facet is crushed and cannot be adequately observed for inference, while Gingerich et al. argue that it is not too crushed or obscured to infer it is sloping but also argue this is likely a primitive condition rather than a derived one. While both Williams and Gingerich say digit II has a nail, Williams argues it is symplesiomorphic with anthropoids while Gingrich claims it indicates early haplorhine traits.
