Kenyanthropus platyops  

Définition(s)

  • One of a rash of new extinct hominid genera discovered and described during the turn of the 21st century, Kenyanthropus immediately garnered substantial press coverage and an onslaught of criticism after its naming in 2001. Characterized by its describers as a distinct genus that suggested a more complex early evolutionary history of the human lineage, this taxon was later dismissed by other researchers as either belonging to Australopithecus or Homo.
