Fossil Anthropoids From Nachola and Samburu Hills, Samburu District, Kenya

Year: 1984

Type: article

Abstract: During the 1982 expedition to Samburu Hills and Nachola, a number of hominoid fossils was found from two Miocene deposits. A small hominoid and a large late Miocene hominoid are contained in the fossils. The former most closely resembles Kenyapithecus africanus, and the latter may be ancestral to the extant African apes and hominoids, to gorilla alone, or not any living hominoids. The various alternatives are discussed.
