Ardipithecus

rdfs:comment

Two species are described in the literature: A. ramidus, which lived about 4.4 MYA during the early Pliocene, and A. kadabba, dated to approximately 5.6 MYA (late Miocene). Ardipithecus is a very early hominin genus (subfamily Homininae) which lived about 4.4 million years ago during the early Pliocene. Because this genus shares several traits with the African great ape genera (genus Pan and genus Gorilla), some consider it to be on the chimpanzee rather than human branch, but most consider it a proto-human because of a likeness in teeth with Australopithecus.

Ardipithecus is a very early hominin genus (subfamily Homininae) which lived about 4.4 million years ago during the early Pliocene. Because this genus shares several traits with the African great ape genera (genus Pan and genus Gorilla), some consider it to be on the chimpanzee rather than human branch, but most consider it a proto-human because of a likeness in teeth with Australopithecus. Two species are described in the literature: A. ramidus, which lived about 4.4 MYA during the early Pliocene, and A. kadabba, dated to approximately 5.6 MYA (late Miocene).
