We are grateful to the symposium staff members Annelise Folie, C{\'e}cilia Cousin, Simon Sweydan, Julien Lalanne, Narimane Chatar, Flor{\'e}al Sol{\'e}, Aldo Impens, Richard Smith and Florias Mees for their assistance. We gratefully acknowledge support of Hugues Ghenne, Boudewijn Herbots, and Chris Vervliet, respectively mayors of Orp-Jauche, Zoutleeuw, and Boutersem townships for access to fossil localities. The symposium was funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BRAIN network project BR/121/A3/PALEURAFRICA); we thank the program coordinator Maaike Vancauwenberghe for her assistance and support during the six years of the project. Funding Information: Gregg joined Duke University in 2011 to take the helm of the Duke Lemur Center{\textquoteright}s Division of Fossil Primates where he replaced the late paleontologist Elwyn Simons ( Fig. 4 ). Gregg spent more than 40 years collecting fossils in Wyoming, Pakistan, Egypt, Tanzania, and more recently, southeast Asia. A few days before he died, he left instructions for the organization of an expedition to Indonesia as part of a project funded by the National Geographic Society. It is therefore not surprising that Duke University news office named Gregg “the Fossil Hunter”. When he was not in the field, he was globetrotting to museums in Europe, Asia and Africa, discovering game-changing fossils in drawers passed over again and again by others who had not recognized their significance.
