Kenyapithecus

You might ask about ask if there are other species of Hominids that Luskin forgot to mention that also walked upright: oh, say, Australopithicines (several species), Paranthropines (several species), Kenyapithecus, Ardipithecus, or perhaps several that we're currently unsure as to if they walked upright or not (Orrorin, Sahelanthropus).

Consider other hominoid fossils that may or may not show affinities specifically with the orangutan, such as Heliopithecus, Turkanapithecus, Kenyapithecus, and Ouranopithecus.

As such, it was possible to see in Kenyapithecus not only the direction hominids were heading, but also something of their earlier origins.

Hoping to find additional specimens of Miocene apes—particularly Kenyapithecus wickeri, the fourteen-million-year-old hominid—Louis had also reopened the excavation at Fort Ternan.

Shortly after this encounter, Louis began seriously to work on his study of the Rusinga Island fossils, searching for evidence to counter Simons and Pilbeam, and for an ancestor of Kenyapithecus.

Finding an ancestor of Kenyapithecus wickeri would also help Louis bolster its credibility as a distinct family and species—a status that he was in danger of losing.

Louis strengthened his case for Kenyapithecus africanus with the discovery of a nearly complete lower jawbone on Rusinga Island in August 1967.

Thus, according to their interpretation, neither Kenyapithecus nor Proconsul was valid—a view that infuriated Louis, who carried on a long battle in scientific journals with the two men.
