Lufengpithecus lufengensis
〔
''Lufengpithecus lufengensis'' is a prehistoric species of hominoid from the Late Miocene found in China, named after the Lufeng site〔 and dated around 6.2 Ma.〔Chang, Lin, et al. "Pollen evidence of the palaeoenvironments of Lufengpithecus lufengensis in the Zhaotong Basin, southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau." Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 435 (2015): 95-104.〕 It is the latest Miocene fossil ape that has been discovered in the entire world. Some researchers believe that genus ''Lufengpithecus'' could be an ancestor to African apes and hominids.〔Wu, Liu, Gao Feng, and Zhang Liang. "The Diet of the Yuanmou Hominoid, Yunnan Province, China: An Analysis from Tooth Size and Morphology." Anthropological Science 110.2 (2002): 149-63. Print.〕
== Taxonomy ==
There are three known species of ''Lufengpithecus:'' ''keiyuanensis'' from near Kaiyuan in the Xiaolongtan Basin (10-11mya), ''hudienensis'' from Yuanmou Basin (7.1-8.2mya), and ''lufengensis'' from Shihuiba in the Lufeng Basin (6.2-6.9mya).〔Ji, XuePing, et al. "Juvenile hominoid cranium from the terminal Miocene of Yunnan, China." Chinese Science Bulletin 58.31 (2013): 3771-3779.〕 Some argue that this taxa is a distinct clade of late Miocene East Asian hominoids that are not closely related to any extant taxa. In fact, compared to YV0999 (a cranium of ''L. hudienensis'' from Yuanmou), there may have been a high degree of local endemism of apes during this time, due to the wide differences between the two species.〔 This fits with the topographic data of Southwest China at the time, which was subject to uplift and erosion, which created the complex topography of mountain ranges and basins that is still present in current day.
