  • Title: A small gibbon-like hominoid from the miocene of Uganda.
    Author: Fleagle JG.
    Journal: Folia Primatol (Basel); 1975; 24(1):1-15. PubMed ID: 1140752.
    Abstract:
    A new palate from Napak IV in Uganda, dated at 19 million years or older, provides information about the facial morphology of a small Miocene hominoid from East Africa. The fossil resembles small extant gibbons in most features of facial and papatal morphology that are preserved, more so than does its European contemporary, Pliopithecus (Epipliopithecus) vindobonensis. The Ugandan hominoid is most closely related to the small Kenyan hominoids formerly placed in the genus Limnopithecus.
