Kenyanthropus platyops is a 3.5 to 3.2 million year old (Pliocene) extinct hominin species that was discovered in Lake Turkana, Kenya in 1999 by Justus Erus, who was part of Meave Leakey's team. The fossil found features a broad flat face with a toe bone that suggests it probably walked upright. Teeth are intermediate between typical human and typical ape forms. Kenyanthropus platyops, which means "Flat-faced man of Kenya" (a name given by Meave Leakey), is the only described species in the genus. (click to see all the article on Wikipedia)
演化還在進行中 ~3百萬年前
羚羊河南方古猿是一個人科的化石,由古生物學家米歇爾.布魯在1993年首次發現,在查德,近於科羅托羅的加札勒山谷,布魯將之命名為阿貝爾。使用鈹元素的放射定年法,判定其存在於3百6十萬年前。
肯尼亞平臉人是在3百5十萬年到3百2十萬年前(上新世)滅絕的人種,由賈斯特斯.埃呂斯在1999年,從肯亞的圖爾卡納湖發現的。他是米芙.利基團隊的成員。其化石特徵為寬闊平坦的臉,以及其趾骨,顯示其可能是直立行走的。牙齒型態介於人與猿之間。肯尼亞平臉人,意為”肯亞的平臉人”(由米芙.利基所命名),是肯尼亞人屬中唯一已知物種。
