Answer :
Final answer:
Proconsulids had non ape-like digits that were not long and curved, but they did share an ape-like characteristic in that they lacked a tail.
Explanation:
Proconsulids, such as Proconsul africanus, from the Miocene epoch exhibit a mix of ape-like and non ape-like characteristics. One non ape-like characteristic of Proconsulids is their lack of long, curved digits which modern-day apes have for hanging from branches. Instead, Proconsulids' digit structure suggests they predominantly moved on all fours. On the other hand, one ape-like characteristic they share with present-day apes is the absence of a tail, which differentiates them from monkeys.
