''Ugandapithecus'' is a disputed extinct genus of hominoid primates that existed from 22 to 14 million years ago during the Miocene epoch. Fossil remains are present in Eastern Africa including Kenya and Uganda. Four species have been classified to date. It has been suggested that these successively larger species evolved from one another. Others argue that ''Ugandapithecus'' is a subjective synonym of ''Proconsul.'' * ''Ugandapithecus meswae'', 21.5 – 19 Mya (previously ''Proconsul meswae'') * ''Ugandapithecus legetetensis'', 20 – 19 Mya * ''Ugandapithecus major'', 19 – 18 Mya (previously''Proconsul major'') * ''Ugandapithecus gitongai'', ca. 14.5 Mya ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ugandapithecus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
